Ah, such is the life of a meteor shower observer.
Been there, done that!

These comics are made at random and found linked on random sites. They all feature about 6 frames, and the last one is always the same.
This is one of the "nicer" ones. The rest are not friendly for this site.

The Orionids for me was definitely more productive than the Leonids, unfortunately we missed out on the peak period within the peak time.
Bring on the Geminids!!!!!

I went out to Londonderry Drop Zone for the Leonids in 2001, then again to an airfield in the bush behind Holsworthy in 2004 and again now to lake George in 2009. Have seen NOTHING in three separate occasions. Is there really a meteor shower?
