A weak minor shower with characteristics and activity nearly coincident with the Orionids, so great care must be taken to separate the two sources by instrumental techniques — especially video or telescopic work — or visual plotting. The waxing Moon will set well before midnight (north of the equator) to about midnight (south of it), giving a fine chance to obtain more data on this shower from either hemisphere. Northern observers have a radiant elevation advantage, permitting useful access from about midnight onwards.
