Orionid Meteor Shower

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

The Oriniod Meteor Shower timing is very favorable this year: the moon is not a factor being new on the 22nd.

This shower is a result of Halley’s comet and is fairly weak with a ZHR of around 20. I watched this shower in 2003 and saw very few meteors; certainly less than I expected.
