Orionid Meteor Shower

Hi all,

Not sure if this has been posted but the Annual Orionid Meteor shower peaks this week, with favoured mornings between the 17th and 19th as these are not affected by moonlight as much. On the showers maximum on the 21/22 the moon will dramatically reduce the amount of meteors seen. The Radiant rises in the east around midnight.

Other upcoming meteors are the Leonids on the 17th and 18th of November and the Geminids on December 14.

Good luck with your viewing.
