(meteorobs) Re: Upsilon Pegasids

[Robert Lunsford]

Ed and All,

The Upsilon Pegasids are very difficult to detect visually due to the number 
of other active radiants nearby. Many say that all UP activity is from other 
showers. I would agree with this for meteors that move north and south out 
of the radiant. The best chance of catching a true UP would be one that 
moved in a west or east direction out of the radiant. It would also have to 
have the correct velocity and length verses radiant distance. I do keep an 
eye out for this activity each year but recent rates are very low and the 
chance of them being random sporadics is great.

Clear Skies!
