This weekend, Fri/Sat was the only overnight I had available - and the weather looks suspect for Sun/Mon. So I jumped out of bed at 1:30 and headed for the hills with my comfy chair and blanket, coffee and radio.

From around 2:30 until sunrise I saw about a dozen meteors, most of which were definitely coming from a radiant point in Orion. A couple fairly bright. All were very fast.

Stayed to watch Saturn and Venus rise, then headed for home and a few more hours sleep.

I'm happy with what I saw.
