(meteorobs) Sagittarids
Some feedback from meteorobs digest no.456 (the first I've received in over
a week - is everyone hibernating up there?).

Hi Mark, I'll be out continuing my plotting program started a few years ago
on the Scorpio/Sagittarids. Last year I found around 5 active radiants.
I'll do the same this year and report each active radiant rather than lump
them all as Sagittarids. the radiants are up all night here and pass
overhead around local midnight. I suppose that is different to your
situation. I'd be happy to confirm any activity you guys observe from up
north. That's if the weather clears in time. We have had rain since the
weekend, and today it snowed briefly here in Johannesburg (hey Cathy, the
Great White South??)
