Meteor showers. We've missed the Draconis meteor shower. That one occurred October 10. However, if we catch the tail end of the Orion, this meteor shower extends from October 15 to the 29. The matulum actually occurred on the morning of the 21st. These meteor showers are fast. So you might see some fast meteors streaking from the constellation of Orion later in the evening. But you're not going to see too many of them. It's winding down pretty quickly. We do have the southern torids. You might see a few of these. This meteor shower is active from September 10 to November 20 maximum occurs on the evening of November, or excuse me, on October 10. However, the maximum hourly rate was near five meteors per hour. Meters are described as bright and move more slowly than typical. So those are still very few and far between. So if you happen to be out on a dark night, you might see a southern torrid streak through the skies. But I just say good luck with that. Comet C2025A6L is passing through the constellations of Canis, Vanetes, and Veruttes low to the west during the last two weeks of the month, shining around. Actually, now shining about 4.5 magnitude. A three inch telescope or greater in dark skies will be needed to view it. Actually, a pair of binoculars will spot that one. In fact, I spotted it last Friday with binoculars and then with the telescope. It was actually a big, tough ball with a little hill. And I did have one of my other fellow observers, one of the adults with the IaaS, took a picture with his cell phone and got a pretty decent shot of it as well through the telescope. So that was a little tricky. It's right back where it should be in the early evening hours. And we also have Comet S1 as well, weighing the scope about 90. What cost of lighting? Well, I did spot about 6 and 1 1 2 magnitude. So that one, just a sec.
