The Orionids are listed on the main list toward the end but are not 
discussed in detail due to the unfavorable lunar conditions. This has been 
the policy of each annual IMO shower calendar since they began being 
published back in the 90's. It's funny that no one has complained until now. 
The main peak of the 2010 is predicted to occur at 1400 UT on October 22. 
Unlike most of the major annual showers, this is not a sharp peak but rather 
a plateau of strong activity centered at that time on that date.

Clear Skies,

Robert Lunsford
