>>Sorry, but this isn't correct. Yes you are right that shower meteors appear all over the sky, but if the radiant itself isn't within about 5 degrees from being on the horizon or above, you won't be seeing any shower members anywhere in the sky. The Orionid radiant rises near 11 pm. If someone said a meteor was an Orionid at 8:45 pm, the radiant would be about 33 degrees below the horizon. Conclusion would be that it wasn't an Orionid in this case.
