Orionids 2014

Well I know there are a few Meteor watchers out there & last night /this morning was the peak of the orionids. For my part out in western Qld i saw 12 in a 1/2 hour period 3:45 to 4:15. A few with persistant trains. A very good start to the day

I saw 1 Orionid a couple of days before peak, but since then it had been cloudy... Although there was one morning that was clear enough, except I woke up too late to see any.
