It is a little late for a heads-up for this but is anyone else planning to catch tonight's / tomorrow morning's Orionid Meteor Shower?

I'm having an aged Pleiades and a few glasses of Lagavulin for the "viewing."

I trust that the link is kosher but if not please advise and I will remove same.

It was the correct link,the main reason i use my lights are when i go out sky watching so i was out last night to see the Orionid meteor shower.Unfortunately the skies clouded over when i got deep enough into the countryside so there was very little light pollution.When this does happen i get to play with my lights a bit more than usual.I did get some great pics a fortnight ago that got used on the local news channel of a massive fireball so i guess i can't be lucky all of the time.

Never seen a meteor shower in very good conditions. Sometimes, if we're lucky, we can almost make out the milky way. Maybe it'll be clear tonight and we'll catch some residuals ^_^
