My quick report: 100 Orionids and 41 other meteors in about 1.75 hours of
observing (1108-1257 UT) from southern Oregon this morning. Orionids seemed
bright but not extraordinarily so; 5 in negative magnitudes with the
brightest at -4. Quite a few impressive bursts of meteors, with a lot of
apparent clumping happening among the sporadics as well.
I saw about 6 meteors that appeared to be from a radiant around RA=142,
Dec=30 (Dec more uncertain because almost all were going N-S). They seemed
too far west to be Leo Minorids, but there was definitely something going on
in that region of the sky.
Full report when I get some time...
