Oktoberzwermen onder de loupe met videowaarnemingen.

Double-station video observations in The Netherlands on October 21/22, 1995, resulted in 67 orbits among which 32 Orionids, 4 Southern Taurids and 3 Leo Minorids. For the Orionid radiant new values for the radiant motion are derived that are argued to be more plausible than the existing literature values. Little structure is present in the Orionid radiant although its width is shown to increase for small particles. As in other video samples around 20 October, the Epsilon Geminids are not present and it is concluded that the activity of this shower must be lower than currently believed from visual observations. On the other hand, the Leo Minorids were clearly present and new values for their radiant position and motion are presented.
