Question. Just cruising my e-mail here, and a note you had posted on the
Eta
Aquarids...
>Details: 1997 max: May 4/5 at 22h UT: ZHR: 60; Vel: 65km/s (Very Fast);
>Duration: Apr 19-May 28; Population Index: 2.7; Radiant Diameter: 4
degrees;
>Train Production: 41%; Radiant: RA 22h36m, Dec. -22; Three Letter Shower
>Code: ETA
Isn't that radiant for Delta, not Eta?

Whoops! Thanks Cathy for catching that. The RA of 22h36 is for the Eta
Aquarids...but the Dec. -22 that I wrote down was for the Sagittarids listed
just underneath the Eta Aquarids....my eye must have drifted down one slot
when typing it out. So...the proper Radiant should be : RA 22h36m, Dec. -01.
