I examined the video meteor data of my camera KLEMOI (20 km east of Cologne) for 
the last 2 nights. On 03./04. July I captured only 8 SPO of which only 1 was slow 
(6.3 deg/sec). But last night (04./0.5. July) I got 23 SPO of which at least 5 or 
6 originated at a radiant a little bit south of BETA Cygni (Albireo). For my 
camera's fov (55 x 43 deg centered on azimut 48 deg, elevation 46 deg) this point 
lines up with the area HER/CRB you mentioned. The velocities are in the order of 
4 to 6 deg/sec, compared to 15 - 20 deg/sec for the other SPOs.

I have attached the backward tracing plot of the postprocessing software for the 
last night.

Very interesting. Perhaps can the other IMO video network members check their 
data too.

Clear skies
Bernd
