(meteorobs) 20/21Oct2008 Quick Impression from E. Oklahoma (andTest)

[Michel Vandeputte]

OK Bill,
At finally one reaction from the USA!
Belgium and the Netherlands were clouded out last night. Also for October 
21-22 the forecasts are not great but October 22-23 could be a clear one ;-)

About October 19-20; I counted 122 meteors in 5,4 hours Teff includung 78 
Orionids. Mean magnitude: 2.14 (many +1's) and 33% left a persistent trail. 
This was a great night!

Good Orionid hunting to all and please share us your impressions!

Michel.
Belgium.

Haven't seen any traffic in about 18 hours so thought I would post my quick 
results from last night to see if the board is still working. Seems it would 
be busier near a peak like this.

I was out for 2 hrs last night from about 7 UT to 9 UT. LM was again about 
5.0 with the waning moon up in the east.

ORIs (and action in general) were a little slower than last night, though 
when corrected for radiant position it is probably about the same. I saw 10 
in 120 minutes last night versus 8 in 70 minutes the previous night.

Also saw 2 SPOs, an STA and an NTA for a overall total of 14 meteors. Same 
overall total as the previous night.

Weather reports look gloomy for the next few nights :( It will give me time 
to catch up my e-mail reports.

Regards,
Bill
NE Oklahoma
