I too spent Friday night and Saturday morning observing my first Orionid shower. I also tried to photograph some. I only saw 4 bright ones, almost yellow in color, but managed to image one (out of 40 x 3 minute shots I was hoping for a few more). It came from above Orions belt and went down. The others all came from below the belt, not far from Mars. Is there more than one radiant for "the Orionids"?
