Orionid meteor (or satellite?) shower 猎户座流（卫?）星雨

The Orionid meteor shower peaks on 10/21, but I'm shooting on the early morning of 10/18 because it's the weekend and weather forecast for 10/21 is not great. Supposedly not a huge difference because the estimate for 10/21 is ~18 meteors/hour and it is ~13 for 10/18. The light pollution where I live is a bigger problem. Many fainter meteors would have been inundated. Just see how few stars are visible. I can only claim one meteor with confidence from 300+ shots. Satellite trails are abundant on the other hand. So here is the lone meteor and a bunch of satellites. 十月十八日早猎户座流星雨。高峰在二十一日，但十八日是周末而且二十一日预报天气不好。流星密度上这两天区别应该不大，二十一日的预计峰值是18颗/小时，十八日是13颗/小时。光污染才是严重问题，稍暗的流星可能就被冲掉了。背景中稀稀拉拉的星星说明了这一点。从300多张照片中只找到一颗肯定是流星的。卫星轨迹倒是不少。图中是一颗流星加三颗卫星。
