(meteorobs) Orionids - Tucson, AZ - 2007 Oct 19 UT

[chergen]

The Orionids were surprisingly active last night from Tucson, AZ. Over
a the course of 1.51 hours, 13 Orionids were observed. According to
the IMO Orionids Live page, a ZHR of 30 +/- 8 was observed. Half of
the meteors were observed in the first 35 minutes, then after a span
of ~30 minutes with only 1 ORI, the rest were observed in the final 25
minutes. 

The meteors were plotted and only one of the counted ORI might have
been an EGE. In all, it was a good display and hopefully indicative of
a good show over the next couple of nights.
