"Orionids 15 - 29 Oct
(21 Oct 1.30am) Both (Hemisphere)"

I'll be in South Africa then with the new Mrs Osen - yep, getting married (it's 2nd time around for me and Suzanne, but not to eachother IYKWIM).

As much as looking at my wife's 'oids, will I be able to see these other heavenly bodies from SA?

Yes Northern and Southern, SA would be great as the light pollution should be reduced. That makes 3 people (including me) who are wed or to be this year,they must be putting something in the water

Was in St Davids, Pembrokeshire last week, camping and saw about 20 in 3 hours. I was laying on a foam mat, in me sleeping bag on top of our car(don't ask) with a couple of beers to hand...saves on the neck ache.
I'm not on about the missus there either.
:D
