The Orionids are still active through Nov 7, on NASA's dates, but the peak is long past. Keep expectations low.

In the dark hour before dawn you may catch an occasional fast meteor. That is the offer: occasional, and fast.

No white light, no bright phone. Give it a short, honest watch rather than a long, hopeful one.

If you see a genuinely bright one, NASA's page points observers onward, and the American Meteor Society's fireball log is where such reports belong.
