My apologies to anyone who is past sunset on the 21st already.
I just came across this.

The best time to look is before sunrise on Wednesday, Oct. 21st. That's when Earth encounters the densest part of Halley's debris stream. Observing is easy: Wake up a few hours before dawn, brew some hot chocolate, go outside and look up. No telescope is required to see Orionids shooting across the sky.

I was all ready to get up at o'dark thirty and see what I could see, but it's raining buckets in Santa Fe...no meteors tonight

It's been visible for most of this month in fact, but I believe they peak tonight. Weather has been too lousy here, and the best time to see them is after midnight. Not getting up for them, and can't afford to go to bed that late what with work and all. Need my sleep.
