(meteorobs) November Meteor Report

 November proved to be exceptionally dry here, which is bad for the water table but good for
meteor observing.  I took advantage of an incredible 2 1/2 weeks of clear weather and managed
to put in 16 almost-consecutive nights of observing.  Remarkably, nary a cloud interrupted my
half-month survey.  The Taurids rose and fell, I witnessed the last that Comet Halley had to
show in the Orionids, then watched as, initially, the Leonids offered virtually no indication
of the impressive, and --sadly for me-- punctual, display that was to come.

Below is my meteor report for November.
Location is East Central Georgia, USA.
