(meteorobs) Late-period Orionid Observations -- East Ga, USA: Oct 28/29 -- 2006

[Kim Youmans]

I enjoyed a three-hour session last night, with the Orionid rates still 
higher than the sporadic totals plus all others combined.  There were no 
more really bright members during my watch.  The NTAs made a fairly decent 
showing, as did the newly-recognized ZCA's.  All in all, I observed 52 
meteors during the watch.  Skies were quite transparent, even down to the 
horizon.
