That morning
Sunrise
Fair
6:57 AM

Meteor shower
Orionids
Active, around 14 an hour

The rate at the top is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. Clouds are not counted here: check the sunset page for those.
Also from Halley's Comet. Fast meteors that often leave glowing trails.
