Re: (meteorobs) small outburst on September 7/8 1996?
<<
Dutch observer Koen Miskotte (Ermelo, 52 deg. 18' N, 5 deg. 37' E) observed
something which might have been the descending slope of a small meteor
outburst on September 7/8 1996. In only 47 minutes effective observing time
with a limiting magnitude near +6.3, he observed 13 meteors, of which 8
came from a sharp radiant at RA 4h10m, dec. +47 (1950.0), close to mu
Persei. The meteors had a Perseid-like velocity and were clustered in the
early part of the observational interval.

Isn't this pretty close to where the Delta Aurigids were located at around
that date?
Perhaps you were seeing these?
