Hi folks:

ORIs had put up good show in US.... hourly rate of 20-30 were detected visually in early dawn for at least 3 days.... and here is a good pic of Oris from Turkey

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap061023.html another good example of to show the radiant vs members ORIs...

Too bad constant cloud covers over the last few weeks prevented me from doing anything with our night sky...

Hope we have better luck with others..

guess I'm lucky! over the years of meteor gazing I have seen hundreds! From the twin-train orange Leonids, blue dazzling Leonids in the next year, orange fireball like Perseids, White glowing Geminids and lately, blueish slow Orionids, my total count has exceeded at least 300! :)
