Orionids maximum, night of 21st-22nd October 2023 This is a tracked stack of the meteors captured by my two Global Meteor Network cameras on the night of 21st to 22nd October, 2023. One camera caught 135 meteors and the other caught 153. There's some field overlap, and some meteors get counted twice because of that. One camera caught 64 Orionids, and the other caught 77. A few meteors from the Southern Taurid, epsilon Geminid, Leonis Minorid and chi Taurid showers were also caught by both cameras. There were 44 sporadics on one camera and 52 on the other. One camera recorded 4.25 hours of clear sky, and the other 5.33 hours, but quite a few of the meteors were caught through thin cloud.
