Last night I could observe the Orionids. It was totally clouded in the 
evening but it cleared after local midnight so I packed and drove to 
the observing place close to my home. The clouds caused some 
problems during the first hour and I was forced to take an half-hour 
break. The next two hours were clear but fog started to form at 
about 3:30 local time. By 4 am local I decided to end the 
observation due to bad transparency.
The Orionids were great as others have noted. With 74 Orionids in 
less than 2.5 hours this were the best Orionids I have seen.

I hope to have some clear skies tonight as well!
