I've spent 8+ hours over three separate nights (including the supposed peak) and not managed to see a single meteor 🤷‍♂️ (Devon, UK) Still, I did get to see a Tawny Owl perched on a neighbour's roof which makes up for it. I'll keep looking! #Orionids

If it's any consolation, I've spent 8 hours over three separate nights here in Devon, UK, and not seen a single one either 🤷‍♂️ That was from the supposed "peak" up to last night. Baffled! But at least I'm learning what I'm looking at and getting some cool photos 😀 #Orionids

Got up with my son at 2:30am to lie on a sleeping bag on the back porch and watch for #Orionids and after more than half an hour and crystal clear dark skies we had not seen a single one.

Orionid meteor shower 2025: All you need to know

"The Orionids aren’t especially colorful compared to some other showers. They appear white or faintly yellow, since their particles are very small and moving extremely fast. That speed produces bright, sharp flashes, but not a wide range of colors."
