<< Hey, George. Are you saying you think your radiant near Eta Per might
actually 
 be ANOTHER shower somehow related to the Perseids stream, or just that you
think 
 it's the current (pre drift) position of the radiant? (According to Gary's 
 computed position, Eta Per is only about 8o off of the current position of
the 
 Perseid radiant, if there is one yet, so I'm guessing you mean the latter?)

Lew,

I'm saying that the radiant at Eta Perseus is a different radiant from the
traditional Perseid radiant..dot it may be in someway related to the Perseid
radiant, but not necessarily.  The fact that the meteors appear to have
velocities comparable to the Perseids...that is very fast, and that it is
also located in Perseus may all be coincidental.  It's an area that I think
attention ought to be given for a possible new shower.
