Re: (meteorobs) 1996 Geminid Max activity

<< George,
The IMO Calendar says 1996 Dec 13, 16h UT for the Geminids. This is not
quite
true as it assumes a sollong=262.0. But a look at the average ZHR profile
shows
that it is rather sollong=262.2 corresponding to 21h UT. So it's not too
much
off. Anyway, we do not have data from Asia (except the groupwise ZHRs sent
to
IMO-news some weeks ago). So we cannot tell if the actual maximum was
earlier
than 23h UT. The Japanese ZHRs actually indicate a maximum at 16h UT which
would
hit the 'prediction' exactly.

I'm sorry, I got the Geminid times mixed up with the Quadrantids.
