(meteorobs) Looking for Draconid pictures

Hi Dan,

According to Jérémie Vaubaillon, rates could reach several thousands meteors per hour, even if the figure isn't easy to precisely predict. Mikhail maslov alos speaks of a potential 40-50 Draconids per hour.
So according to both of these two authors, a possible outburst is predicted, as even dozens of Draconids per hour is more than usual activity.
For me, an outburst is a short lived higher than usual ZHR maximum for a meteor shower. Isn't it thus what's predicted by Vaubaillon and Maslov, even if it's not reaching storm levels ?

Best regards,
Karl
