(meteorobs) Radiant in Aries?

[GeoZay at aol.com]

Al>>While observing this weekend, I spotted a few (6 to 7)  meteors that
appeared to radiate from Aries and move to the south, the west  and to
the east. I cannot find any radiants from any showers in this  area.
I'm classifying them as sporadic, but wonder if there is a shower  I've
missed or some less frequent shower that is not typically listed  among
the minor showers.<<


Al, I recommend you plot your apparent sporadics and see if a  reasonable 
radiant appears. If you come up with an apparent 4 or more meteors  per 25 plots 
with the right parameters (such as velocity and proper path  length in 
relation to a possible radiant), you might have info on a not so  known shower. Note 
that at this time of year, there are at least 8 known  showers that are 
active...You'll have to consider each one of these before  passing judgement, as to 
whether or not you got plots for a new  shower.
