Hi Robert,

A late reaction on the most recent meteor activity outlook. According to 
the advice, one should report antihelion meteors as Taurids to IMO. 
Shouldn't it mention that it is important to take a meteor's angular 
velocity into account during shower association? (Sporadic antihelion 
meteors from this region are often noticeably faster than the "average" 
Taurid to me...)

Cheers,
Geert


PS: Very nice Taurid activity last weekend.
