(meteorobs) Orionids ruined from NE Florida
Hello all,
Just the usual negative report on a major shower
due to very poor weather conditions over the St.
Augustine (N. Florida) area once again. Although each
night during the Oct. 20/21 to 22/23 timeframe was
largely cloudless, excessive haze and fog combined
with the moonlight to make skies impossible to
effectively observe in. I saw a grand total of two
Orionids in 15 mins of casual observation this morning
(22/23) just prior to morning twilight. The Os are
usually VERY faint and elusive meteors even under
superb skies, they didn't stand a chance under the
crud we had! HOPEFULLY, I'll be able to tell you all
something good for the upcoming LEONIDS! Hope springs
eternal. Paul Jones
