> The Orionids are an excellent shower for new observers. The rates remain

>
> There are a number of minor showers in October as well. Minor showers have
> much weaker rates, usually only several meteors per hour, even on their best
> night, so extra care must be taken when observing them.
>
> The October Arietids (OAR) reach a maximum on October 8th, near full moon.
> The radiant is at RA 02h08m, Dec +08. The meteors are slow, at about 28
> km/sec. They can be seen all month, but the rates are very low.
>
> The epsilon Geminids (EGE) reach maximum on October 18th, close to new moon.
> The radiant is at 102 i.e. RA 06h48m, Dec +27. These are fast meteors,
> at about 70 km/sec. They can be seen in the last half of October, from
> about the 14th to the 27th. The rates are also low, only about 2 meteors
> per hour, on the maximum night. The parent body is believed to be either
> Comet Ikeya 1964VIII, or Comet Nishikawa-Takamizawa-Tago 1987III.

> Lastly, the Leo Minorids (LMI) reach a very weak maximum on October 22nd at
