Public Night @ Sky Meadows in conjunction with SI – Check http://www.novac.com/wp/observing/sky-meadows/ for site details and directions.
NOTE: There is no admittance to Sky Meadows State Park after 8:30pm! Even if the event goes later.
This shower is made up of remnants from the famed Halley’s Comet and spans from October 2 through November 7. It will peak overnight on the 22nd with up to 20 sightings per hour. 2015 presents a fine year for watching the Orionid meteor shower. The best viewing for the Orionids in 2015 will probably be before dawn on October 22. Try the days before and after that, too, sticking to the midnight-to-dawn hours.The meteors will appear to be originating from the Orion constellation.
Observing at Great Meadows tonight (11-07) has been cancelled due to cloudy weather and a muddy observing field.
