(meteorobs) Orionids from Greece

[Maravelias Grigoris]

Hello!

I managed to follow Orionids at 19/20 and 20/21 Oct. The display was 
great in both nights and the weather perfect, as with only some winter 
clothes you could easily stay outside for long (perhaps around 15deg 
here), now wind and clear skies.

What i noticed is that the Orionids seemed to come in groups of 
activity, like some minutes when i could see 4-5 of them then some 
minutes (even 5-10) without. Perhaps it could be just my impression.

preparing for the Leonids now...

Clear skies,

Grigoris
