I am currently attending the Meteoroids conference in Poland. At the
meeting, Prof. Peter Brown has just alerted us to the fact that the Daytime
Craterids (DCR) have unexpectedly shown up in the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar
(CMOR). You can see the radar detection for yourself at:

Has anyone at the Conference spoken about the possible outburst associated
with 209P/LINEAR next May?
When this was announced last October, we were told that new observations
of the comet
would help refine the ZHR forecast for this potential display. We were
told that the "most likely"ZHR would be 100 to 400, but a true "storm" (ZHR =
>1000) could not be ruled out.
Does anyone have anything new to add? We are now only ~8 months away.
