(meteorobs) possible meteor outburst or shower going on

[Richard Taibi]

Hi Esko,

I read your posting with interest.  The Ursid maximum was predicted, by IMO, 
for 13 h UT on 22 Dec. 2005.  I was watching until 11h UT and was only able 
to see one Ursid in an hour and a half under +4.5 skies.  I wonder if 
observers to the west of my position saw a good show?
