(meteorobs) Re: Alpha Cygnids radiant?

[Robert Lunsford]

Al and All,

I have the Alpha Cygnids peaking near July 20 with a radiant of 20:20 +47

Using a radiant drift of 2.4 minutes (0.6 deg.) in RA and +0.2 in DEC I 
would calculate a position of 20:44 +49. Those rates sound very strong for 
the ACG's, especially when it occurred ten days past the expected peak.

Clear Skies!

I'm transcribing my voice recorded notes and times into an observation
report for 7/30 and 8/1. I have 7 meteors on 7/30 that originatated in
or near Cygnus and moved toward Pegasus. I'm trying to determine if
these were Alpha Cygnids (ACG) but don't have a location for that
shower's radiant.

Thanks
