The Epsilon Geminids are a meteor shower that can be observed in the second half of October. The radian is about 15 degrees west of the star Pollux . During the entire period of activity, the Epsilon Geminids have only a low level of activity.
Since the Orionids are active at the same time , whose radians are about 15 degrees south, you need a little experience to tell the meteors of these two meteor streams apart.
