Meteors from 1997 BR

Any meteors from this asteroid would occur around the descending node at
Solar Long (2000) = 116.8 deg  (~July 19) from a theoretical radiant near

RA 175 deg  Dec +65 deg (2000)

Atmospheric velocity = 16 km/sec

Such a low velocity could result in up to 19 deg of zenithal attraction
to place the observed radiant on the horizon.  This would be an evening
shower for northern latitudes with a solar elongation of ~60 deg.

Cheers, Rob McNaught
