2022 Draconid Meteor Shower
Best viewed: 8-9th October 2022

What will the Draconids do this year? Will they be quiet or will they give us a spectacular show with thousands of meteors per hour?

I didn't see any exciting activity here, at least according to the preliminary analysis. There were quite a few sporadics on the night of 7th/8th, but only 4 Draconids, and a similar number of sporadics on the night of 8th/9th, but no Draconids. There were a few Southern Taurids and chi Taurids both nights.
