Folks,
upon analysing my Draconid observations I found a significant shift
between the expected and observed radiant position. The expected
position (according to the IMO Meteor Shower Calendar 2011) is
alpha = 262°, delta = 54°, v_inf = 20km/s
However, the radiant I get from 200 Draconids, recorded by AVIS2 between
18:15 and 21:15 UT, is
alpha = 277°, delta = 54°, v_inf = 20 km/s
That is, the deviation is exactly one hour in right ascension. Can that
be confirmed by other video observers?
Best,
Sirko
PS: I determined the radiant position with the radfind tool
(radfind -sol 194 196 -iter -posdat -stepp 0.5 -stepv 1 -alpha 250 300
-delta 30 60 1008DATA.DBF dra.out)
