(meteorobs) P/2006 T1 (Levy) orbit looks inetresting!

Hi,

(I sent this once earlier today,. but probably it did not go trough. I 
try again with some added text.)

The new elliptic orbit of this comet looks interesting, as to possible 
meteor shower. Have a look at:

The orbit seems to pass the Earth orbit in less than 0.01 AU. This does 
not mean that a shower or outburst should happen now but when the comet 
orbit gets better derived, then some level meteoroids-trail modeling can 
be made. The comet node encounter happens this year (according to a 
quick lookup from IMO sol.long table) in the last day of the year at 
about 21 UT. This is one hour before NewYear in our Finnish time! What a 
good timing for a possible shower to "hide itself" ;-)
