Oct 23/24 finally brought a clear night… well at least one with only a little cirrus. The next night was back to fighting with lots of bright moonlit cirrus.
The Orionids are still going strong. Unfortunately my rates are down big time due to the aforementioned clouds and moonlight. Visual reports to the IMO show that after a 4 day plateau with ZHR rates of 35-40 per hour, rates are now in decline. It will be interesting to see how the video rates turn out since southern AZ finally has a night with no clouds.
