The Draconid meteor shower is lackluster most years with a handful of meteors an hour, and this is one of those.  However every once and a while all heaven breaks loose.   It’s related to Comet Giacobini-Zinner, a short period comet.  The radiant is overhead in the early evening, so this is a rare meteor shower best seen in the evening rather than the morning sky.

Here’s a link to my post a couple of years ago (2011) about it including  a finder chart:  https://bobmoler.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/100611-ephemer…-meteor-shower/

For this year check out the site EarthSky.org and their take on the Draconids.
