(meteorobs) New very interesting asteroid

[Shy Halatzi]

Hi Roberto,

Have you checked the asteroids history as well, to see if you can link past
crossings with showers? perhaps that could give an indication to the
probability of a shower...
Also, there is a shower quite close in time, the Alpha-Aurigids on Sept.
1st. Did you compare the orbits of the shower meteors with the asteroid?
this could also be interesting to do.

Best wishes,
Shy
