It is fun. It can be a little overwhelming at first, but once you start getting some practice, you can use it as an excuse to be outdoors at night 😃. I am looking forward to seeing images you post.

OrioNOTS (Orionids) Meteor showers tend to happen regularly every year, over a period of time; days, weeks or even longer. Published times are usually listed for the few nights when the showers will be most visible, i.e. a lot of meteors per hour. Sometimes, the showers’ viewing times vary, they start a little early or a little late, but mostly they start and end right on their predicted time schedules. I was hoping to see the (October) Orionids earlier than during this year's peak viewing time. The showers best viewing times were supposed to happen during moon up in the sky time.

Pointed in the right direction, this is a thirty second exposure, long enough to bring out the foreground and have some star trailing. After an hour or so of viewing, lots of star trails, and one airplane, but no meteors. They were stubbornly insisting on staying on schedule, they had a show to put on. But no shows locally, alas. This is the culprit, making meteor viewing very, very difficult that night. Moonrise, at 71% illumination. This puppy is bright enough to cast shadows and hide meteors. -
