(meteorobs) Orionids from Oregon 10/19/2010

[Wes Stone]

I got in a couple of hours of observing between moonset and twilight on the 
morning of the 19th. Once the moonglow had subsided, skies were phenomenal. 
Orionids were active from the beginning of my session; I saw four in the 
first two minutes. Well, that rate didn't hold up for long. I ended up 
seeing a total of 49 Orionids and 29 other meteors. The brightest meteor was 
an Orionid of magnitude -1.
