Hey, if seeing an Orionid can be considered a sighting of Halley's comet, does seeing Giacobini-Zinner count as seeing Giacobinid meteor activity?

Whole potential future storms in that fuzzy, far-off telescopic smudge.

That's another good observing list:  How many known parent bodies of meteor showers have you seen?  My list includes:

1986:  Halley (Orionids, Eta Aquarids)
1992:  Swift-Tuttle (Perseids)
1994:  Encke (Taurids)
1998:  Tempel-Tuttle (Leonids)
1998:  Giacobini-Zinner (Giacobinids)
