(meteorobs) Draconids for October

[Bruce McCurdy]

    Hello to all, I am forwarding the below self-explanatory note from my 
friend Alister Ling. Alister writes for the 'sky this month' centre pages of 
Astronomy magazine and is responsible for the meteors section. He writes 
these 'boxes' about six months in advance, thus the lead-time for the 
Giacobinids question. I seem to recall there was some discussion on this 
awhile back, maybe somebody can point me (and Alister) in the right 
direction. Thanks. regards, Bruce
