Long lasting slow meteor

While astro imaging last night I saw one of the longest lasting slow meteors for a long time. Moderate in brightness but leaving a yellowish white trail, it went on and on running under the sough celestial pole at about 10degrees down from horozontal, coming in at a very shallow angle, then dissapearing low in the south west. Quite amazing.

Do you think is was an Orionid? They say that they can persist for a few days after maximum.
