Fellow Meteor Enthusiasts.

It looks like the possible radiant in Cassiopeia mentioned below
was most likely the /June Mu Cassiopeids/. /JMC.  These meteor/s
were recently discovered by Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR),
about 10 degrees from the location I estimated it to be.  You can
see it as JMC on the radar map near 0 hrs *55 in this article:
