Stay tunned for the Orionids, US watchers! 
 
Rates still are high with many bright meteors. I think between 30-40 Orionids/hour. At some moments I saw 2 Orionids at once...
I saw fireballs up to -8 during a seven hour Orionid meteor watch between 21.35-04.35 UT. Not all 7 hours are useful for data. Sometimes I looked through holes between the clouds. Don't forget to watch the earthgrazing meteors with low radiant. They were very very impressive! 

No time for a short nap ;-). Enjoy the celestial firework and have a nice sunday. 

Michel. 
Belgium.
