(meteorobs) Was it really an Omicron Draconid outburst instead?

Meteor Enthusiasts,
I went back and looked at my meteor observations from July 16/17 and I
noted that three or four were coming from near the head of Draco, but I
called them sporadic. However that was before I discovered that the Omicron
Draconid radiant was near the head of Draco. So, including them, and not
counting the poor conditions on the 17/18, I saw 7 or 8 suspected Omicron
Draconid meteors, which could be visual confirmation of this activity.
Starry Skies,
GWG
