(meteorobs) Geminid Observations, final update

[Bruce McCurdy]

Hi Mark, thanks for the update. I assume you have rolled in Anthelion 
meteors with sporadics. I used Bob Lunsford's list of active showers which 
included the antihelions but omitted the (nearby) chi Orionids. It seems 
likely that I might have misidentified a few XORs as ANTs, but it would be a 
small number.

Bruce
