The outlook for the Orionid meteor shower is pretty good with a ZHR of 25 per hour, under ideal conditions of course. The moon, which is Past last quarter, will rise early in the morning at around 2am on the 22nd so for most of the night at least, we should have good viewing. Here's hoping for the cloud gods to be kind to us.

Managed to catch one (I think) tuesday night, at least at appeared to be heading from a position near to orion, about midway between the belt and betelgeux and a little way toward gemini. The local senior countryside ranger has organised a meteorwatch event for tomorrrow night, a prime spot on a high hill. As is usual, looks like clouds are gonna spoil the show :) just hoping astropanel is wrong this time..

Well I was planning to spend tonight and tomorrow night having a look at them, I always seem to miss them, and I'm guessing this time is no different as the cloud gods seem to think I have sinned and are punishing me in Manchester.
