(meteorobs) Negative? on Gamma Delphinids

[pjenniskens]

Paul,

Could the radiant have been in Aquila instead of Delphinus? From 8-9 UT,
under +6.2 skies, I had five sporadics, but one of these, at 8:32 UT, was a
short swift +1 meteor near alpha Ophiuchi that could have been a shower
member if the radiant position determined in 1930 was off. Will find out if
we have an orbit for this one.
