(meteorobs) Taurids and Orionid from Southern Maryland

[Richard Taibi]

Meteor activity was low during the two hours and forty minutes I spent observing last night/this morning.  I only saw 7 meteors and the first 52 minutes of observation were meteor-less.  For consolation I needed to remind myself  'even no meteors is data' !
