I BRIEFLY got to see Orion 2 weeks ago. I'd even forgotten it was up at present. Sad state of affairs.
I looked at the forecast for Saturday night just gone, was looking good, started planning, got my gear ready and the smoke haze rolled in in the late afternoon evening. Called it there. Went outside before going to bed at 11pm and it was the most crystal clearest sky I have seen in weeks, I went to be grumpy that night haha. Orion was sitting there perfectly, and the first time I've been able to see the brightness change of Betelgeuse
