Hi all,

Quick report only... I just got home from a VERY successful night!   
Had a clear sky for several hours until 6am local time.

It looks like the stronger than usual Orionid rates continued from  
what was reported yesterday.  I haven't listened to the tape yet but  
I'm pretty sure that this is the best Orionid return I've ever seen.   
Rates seemed to be consistently 30 or more /hr during the hours  
before dawn.  Quite a few bright meteors seen and possibly  
photographed too.

More complete report later... Now I'm pooped out and heading to bed.
