(meteorobs) Orionids from South Carolina

[meteors at comcast.net]

It was great to see the turnout of observers for the Orionids with 
several dedicating their watches to the memory of Wayne Hally. Likewise, 
I also was able to observe two mornings under perfectly clear skies 
while listening to the sound of the sea. In fact the weather was 
flawless, as the nighttime temperatures stayed at about 50 degrees F 
which is perfect. A slight breeze pushing the rustling leaves out by the 
road put the finishing touches on two memorable watches.

Activity seemed to be a bit slow to me. I did not see much from the 
Taurid radiants, and not too many from the Orionids. Below is my data.
