Unexpected meteor shower?

[Owmuchonomy]

A very clear sky here tonight. I have been outside since 5:30 with my dual set up roaming Pegasus and Andromeda on various deep sky wonders. However, I was treated to a wonderful 30 minutes of a meteor display. I saw 7 bright meteors within that time frame and another when I came back out around 8pm.  Not a bad haul by any standards but subjectively I would say they all had a similar origin somewhere between M45 and Cass. Is that significant I wonder?

The Andromedids between Triangulum and Andromeda are active between 25 September and 6 December according to Stellarium. Could they be the source?

The SkyX, from Software-Bisque claims a peak of activity on or about Nov. 27th. Quite a long lasting one of these showers.

Anyone know what is responsible for this event? A name for the comet?

Cool stuff,

Dave

 From that link:

 The shower originates from comet 3D/Biela whose disintegration in the mid-1800's is linked to the outbursts
