Hello, Paul,

I see, that your observation show a weak but continuous 
Draconid activity during 1-6 UT 7 October on the level of 
~1 meteor per hour. That is very interesting and important 
result, which may confirm my considerations on possible 
weak Draconid action on 7 october, with ZHR just about 1 
meteor peakin at 4:40 UT (first peak). Unfortunately, I 
have clouded sky for almost two weeks here in Novosibirsk, 
so I couldn't check the second possible peak on 21:10 UT 
of 7 October.

Best regards, Mikhail
