(meteorobs) Meteor Observations Oct 23/24 ZAYGE




Last night after pointing out the constellations and stuff to a group of back
packers that camped out next to the observatory with my wife....I observed
meteors. Under clear skies with an LM near 6.0 all night, I recorded 81
meteors total. I plotted everything except the orionids. The orionids are
still decently active without the fireballs though. I recorded 44 orionids
during 5.5 Teff hours. Also plotted were 9 S. Taurids, 3 N. Taurids, 1 Epsilon
Geminid, and 24 sporadics. Tomorrow I work so I won't be able to continue
observing. I do have an opportunity to observe this coming wednesday while the
moon is not up. Weather permitting I will give it a try.
