All,

We detected a new shower in our CAMS video data of 
February 4, caused by Earth crossing the dust trail
of a long-period comet. It was added to the IAU Working List
as shower #427, the February eta Draconids. 

According to Esko Lyytinen's calculations, the shower 
may return in 2016 or 2023. More information is posted here:
