    Great then disappointing week

    Good evening everyone.

     Well, last weekend, here in NW Ohio, we had one of the best nights I've seen in quite some time for star gazing.  Saturday night, especially, was the new moon, and saw little to no air turbulance. 

     However, just a few days later was the peak of the Orionids, and just as easily as something can be given, something can be taken away.  Though there were some on Saturday night, the peak was Wednesday.  NW Ohio was plagued with clouding skies as a front was approaching.

     Did anybody have better luck?  I know the showers in November and December will be better, but how great was the Orionid show?

    Sorry about your skies. I had the same experience here in KC.  Clouded in until sunset on Friday 10-23!  Had great skies last night... but no meteors, and it's back to gray soup for skies tonight.
