Hi George,

I saw a good number of meteors on Saturday night, all were the same 
deep green color and were 0-1 mag.  I'm thinking they may have been 
an apparition of the January Draconids.  

I don't have any details on that shower with which to verify that 
assumption.  Do you happen to know if the brightness and color matches
their profile?  The radiant (as best as I could estimate with the handful
of meteors I actually traced back) was between the tail end of Draco 
(between Polaris and the pointer stars) and a bit south from there (near 
the north end of Cam, or a bit east of it). 

I wasn't really meteor observing, but there sure seemed to be an 
association between many of them that night.  (there were sporadics, 
too, of course)

Regards,
   Mark
