(meteorobs) Early PERs from around the lamba AND

[Wayne Hally]

Another possibility is a new shower found in the IMO video data. That data
shows no evidence of Perseids earlier than July 13. However there is another
shower with a radiant nearby, at RA 024 (1h 38m), Dec +45 on July 5
(currently in eastern Andromeda), and similar velocity (59 km/s). It's new
IAU shower #411, CAN.  I recorded a surprising amount of activity from this
radiant this morning, with 4 plots out of 15 meteors in 1.825 hours. It's
documented in WGN 37:4.

Hi Sergei,
Same results here (Ermelo, the Netherlands). Last night (4/5 july) I could
observe for 2,2 hours and counted 2 Perseids. The first one was a nice
magnitude 0 with 2 second train.
In previous years I frequently saw activity from this region, even already
at the end of June. Problem with these very early Perseids (as I called
them) is that you never really know whether it really was a Perseid or a
sporadic meteor that accidentally came from the same region.
But the meteors I saw last night were undoubtedly Perseids!
Best wishes,
koen

Greetings!

My visual observations on the 03/04 and 04/05 of July show, that there are
early PERs coming from the area around the lambda AND.

With best regards
