(meteorobs) About the Orionid 2010

ES> Hi,

ES> Their number increased significantly in these last nights of

I can certainly confirm an increase in Orionid meteors brightness, but for 22/23
October night, 21/22 one was cloudy for me. Previous Orionid activity
was composed almost completely of not bright meteors, 90% > 2 mag.

The nights from 24/25 to 28/29 October were mostly clear but are still not
analysed.

Best regards, Mikhail Maslov
