Oh Orionids

  • Oct. 20th, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Efforts will be rewarded
The internet tells me that the Orionid meteor shower peaks in the predawn hours tomorrow, so I am unplugging myself from the internet and setting my alarm for a hideous 5 AM wake-up call. I plan to stagger into the night with Bag Of Stargazing Awesome in one hand and a thermos of Earl Grey in the other. Notice I didn't say anything about changing out of my PJs.

Orionid shower
At least you'll have a clear sky to see it.

Re: Orionid shower
A beautiful, clear, unseasonably warm pre-dawn morning. What more can you ask for?

Re: Orionid shower
Remembering to take the house keys might be worth asking for. . .:)

Bummer. How far out from the city would you need to go to get clear of the light pollution?
