(meteorobs) Looking for Draconid pictures

[Chris Peterson]

Jeremie's model gives an estimated ZHR of 600 if we encounter the 1900 
debris stream, and if that stream exists as modeled. Other estimates 
range from 50 to a few hundred. AFAIK there is no suggestion of rates 
reaching thousands per hour.
