This data cannot be directly compared to visual results due to the different
sensitivities of the video system. The sixty degree field of view of this
system is also smaller than that of the average observer. Shower
associations were obtained from Sirko Molau's meteor recognition (MetRec)
program. This and other AMS video data is available on the AMS web site at

Clear Skies!
