(meteorobs) Orionids tapering off?

[Alister]

Thanks to Bruce McCurdy for suggesting a meteor session. Gaia was very nice 
to us and always had a decent chunk of sky available for us to watch despite 
the generally cloudy conditions. Both Bruce and I will have numbers later, 
but the rates were still pretty decent. Under mag 6.0 skies sometimes 
better, sometimes worse, we were seeing 2-6 Orionids per 10 minute bin, with 
some sporadics and Taurids thrown in for good measure.

I know meteor stream dynamics is complex and likely to frown on this naive 
question, but here goes: If the rates for Orionids are surprisingly good, 
what about the upcoming Eta Aquariids? Any correlation from past showers? I 
expect the answer no, but worth the asking.

Good observing,
Alister Ling.
