(meteorobs) Observations Coweta, OK USA 10/11OCT2007

[Bill Godley]

A nice ORI right out of the chute and then only a single meteor over the next hour.  I don't THINK I fell asleep.  Sure, I had one or two "was that what I think it was" moments, but even if I counted them still a surprisingly low total.

Oh well, I will still probably try again tonight.  This weekend and next week the weather may not be as accomodating as the ORI peak approaches.
