(meteorobs) Alpha Ursa Majorids active?

[Szilard Csizmadia]

Dear All,

we observed on nights 8/9, 10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15, 16/17 August, 2004
(detailed report will be sent later) and we recognized that there is an
active radiant close to Alpha UMa.

So we confirmed the activity of this meteor shower. Tomorrow I send a
detailed report.

Best whishes:

Szilard Csizmadia
