EarthSky reports
October’s Draconid meteor shower – sometimes called the Giacobinids – radiates from the fiery mouth of the northern constellation Draco the Dragon. Because the radiant is located so far north on the sky’s dome, this shower favors temperate and far-northern latitudes, such as the U.S., Canada, Europe and northern Asia. In 2016, the peak dates will probably be on the evenings of October 7, starting at nightfall. There’s a rather wide waxing crescent moon to obscure this year’s shower. Yet this shower is oftentimes a sleeper, even in a dark sky completely free of moonlight. But watch out if the Dragon awakes, which is always a possibility!
