(meteorobs) Orionid Data
Rainer and Juergen,
Here's a summary on my 4 nites of observing the Orionids prior to the peak.
I wasn't able to observe during the better nites due to work etc. I'm also
on my wife's computer since mine has an "ailing mouse" at the
moment...so...the format may not be all that great, but I think you can get
the info out of it. I'm off to work for perhaps the next 3 days...the weather
is sure weird lately. last night we had heavy rain and lightening and
thundering...now they are predicting the high and dry winds. I think the
worst of the winds will occur up along the Los Angeles latitudes and East...I
talked to my daughter who lives in Pomona yesterday and she said it was quite
windy there...but her interpretation of high winds may not be the same as
mine. Anyhow...I don't think things will be too bad around here.Will be
getting back to you all perhaps tuesday and still possibly Sunday.
