(meteorobs) Stronger than usual Orionids - East GA USA

[Kim Youmans]

I spent three hours observing before dawn this morning and had an incredible 
night --  I had Orionid rates that I don't ever recall having before in the 
past.  Here's hoping someone can confirm the following rates:
Observing Site  -- East Georgia, USA

7:00 - 8:00  UT  ORI (28)  SPO (09)  STA (03)  LMI (1)
8:00 - 9:00  UT  ORI (34)  SPO(06)  EGE(3) STA(1) NTA(1)
9:00 -10:00 UT  ORI (39)  SPO(11) EGE(2)

I observed 138 meteors in three hours teff, with each hour having Orionid 
rates at double or more than double the expected amount...I had a great many 
bright members including a -4 that left a 1-minute+ persistant train!
It will be later this weekend before I can reduce everything and have a full 
report ready.
