This came back, so I am resending it. Sorry if it entered twice perhaps.

Subject: june Bootids 1995-1997
Dear all,
With respect to the june Bootid (or 'iota Draconid'/ june-Draconid)
outburst of last weekend, it is perhaps usefull to report that Dutch
observers have noted a possible very low level activity of this stream in
the period 1995-1997.
Koen Miskotte and I started to classify this stream in 1995, because
it appeared in Peter Jenniskens' outburst catalogue (A&A 295 (1995),
206). The observations of stream members reported below have been
abstracted from narrative observational reports by Koen and me in Radiant
(journ. DMS) vols. 17 (1995) p. 71-73; and vol. 19 (1997) p. 99-102; this
log is >not< necessary complete....! Thus regard this communication as
preliminary.
Koen will check the original data sheets in the DMS Delphinus archives
this week for possible additional observations, full observational data
and also zero detections (which we also file but which do not appear in
the short narrative reports in "Radiant"). Koen and I always plot our
meteors outside main
stream maximum periods, so reclassifications from a >good, reliable< 1998
radiant position are possible. All obs. intervals below are roughly
centered at 0h UT by the way.
obs. date iDra Lm Teff
Langbroek 26/27-06-1995 1 6.1 1.97
Miskotte 27/28-06-1995 1 6.5 2.02
Miskotte 28/29-06-1995 1 6.1 1.92
Langbroek 28/29-06-1997 1 6.1 2.00
Langbroek 5/6-07-1997 1 6.5 1.00
It concerns very slow distinctive meteors from a radiant near RA 230,
dec. +55, with radiant diameter taken in classifying (by Langbroek)
approx. 15 degrees.
The data point to the possibility of a very low level annual activity
over several days with ZHR very low, <2. Please note that with such low
rates sporadic line-ups can occur! Since the meteors are distinctive slow
however, it would surprise me if all the specimens reported above were in
reality sporadics however.
More info follows when Koen finished checking the archive.
