Tuesday Night/early Wed morning Orionid meteor shower (Page 2/2) blackrams OCT 20, 10:07 AM quote Originally posted by Hudini: I hope I can see something tonight. I’m at Sanya on Hainan Island in southern China headed back to Shanghai. The new moon has just set and it should be prime viewing at 31,000 ft above the somewhat sparse ground lighting. There are no upper level clouds either. This is a pretty unique view. Not everyone gets to experience that. Enjoy and if you can, share a pic. Rams Hudini OCT 20, 02:40 PM 2.5 hour flight and I saw 8 meteors. 4 were the super fast, fleeting, .25 nano seconds and gone types. The other 4 were nice. One was super bright and large. One had what looked like sparks trailing behind like a bottle rocket. Tomorrow night I have another late flight. Should be interesting. Pictures would be impossible for my iPhone I think.
