Overview

• The shower’s main peak occurred on Oct. 8, with activity continuing from Oct. 6 to Oct. 10.
• A nearly full Moon is washing out fainter meteors, though occasional bright fireballs may still be seen.
• Under dark skies, observers can expect roughly 10–20 meteors per hour, with lower counts in moonlit or urban areas.
• Watch shortly after sunset by looking northwest toward the radiant in Draco near the star Eltanin and stay out for at least an hour.
• For better results, choose rural or elevated spots, avoid bright screens or white lights, and allow 15–30 minutes for eye adaptation.
