I am hoping for a cloudless night tonight so maybe I can see the Orionid meteor shower.

Great stuff. Wish I wasn't sleeping long nights this weekend. Got a cold making me feel like a bum.

Hoping for clearing skies... it's been raining for a few days but seems to be lessening.

I've been out the last two nights between 3 and 5

I'm in Maryland ,Orion doesn't come up till past midnight.

Seen a handfull but nothing special.

Set up my camera to take pics ,30 second exposures at 3 seconds between shots.

Over 300 pics didn't get anything.Last night set up a heater under the tripod to help with the condensation on the lens, don't know if I'll mess with it tonight.
