Oct 2017 recap

We had decent weather all through October.Temps were warm and rainfall was minimal.Thanksgiving weekend was warm and the day of the dinner was spent socializing in the front yard at the homestead in the country before the feast.....ya gotta like that! ! Hallowe'en night was comfortable for the 'Trick or Treaters' ....no need to bundle up with temps around 7°C during the evening.
The leaves are dropping more now but mid-month the trees were colorful and full.Still a lot of green leaves then,too. Here's a couple taken along the Mersey in the Trestle Trail / Pine Grove Park area on Oct 14th.

Not a lot happening in the skies over Oct.The annual Orionids were a bust here.The automated camera that shoots all night only picked up a few over a couple of nights......nothing at all like was advertised and expected.

I did capture a really bright Iridium flare:

and an evening pass of the ISS almost intersecting with a plane to make a somewhat interesting shot:

That's all for now.

Cheers!!
