The 2009 Orionid Meteor shower is underway!

Hi All,

The 2009 Orionid shower is under way! Despite the clouds rolling in toward the morning hours, I was able to capture several Orionid Meteors this morning with my all sky video cameras. Including some very bright fireballs low to the horizon! PC164C video camera A several hour composite from my backyard from Dayton, Ohio USA.

Keep watching for the meteors from midnight until 7:00am through the 23rd of October. We are going to have a great display this year with lots of Bright ones, as we go through a heavy debris field from Comet Halley.

Best Regards,
John Chumack
