 Hi George and others,

I actually think little is known about the radiant diameter of these 
streams (except Draconids). In such cases, assume a safe 10-15 degrees ( 
I believe this is what IMO recommends in such cases).

The Draconids are known to have a very thight radiant of less than one 
degree (!), actually in the order of 12'. That resulted from mono-station 
photographic results on the 1946 Draconid storm.
