(meteorobs) Orionids Oct. 20/21 from Oregon

[Wes Stone]

Wow, what an hour! I regret that it was only one hour because I had to segue 
right into getting ready for work, but on the other hand I feel that my 
perception was just about at its peak. Awesome skies and dry air. Very 
reminiscent of the 1999 Leonids (the slight enhancement seen from Western 
North America after the storm).
