Pete Gural and I were out this morning for four hours and also noticed 
distinct activity from Auriga. Pete had no less than 10 Aurigids while a 
quick look at my plots reveal five Aurigids. I know that there where many 
more Aurigids seen early in the session that were not plotted and labeled as 
sporadics.

This is most interesting! More to follow.....
