       2 October – 7 November - The Orionid meteor shower

            Originating from the Debris of Halleys Comet.

With a maximum rate of about 25 meteors per hour, the Orionid meteor shower is active from 2 October until 7 November and peaks with a maximum lasting about a week around 22 October. 

Fortunately the Moon will be new at the Orionid peak, so Dark Skies.
