SESSION NOTES
General Notes
1. All Times UT
2. Speed 1=very slow 2=slow 3=Medium 4=fast 5=very fast
3. Train is measured in seconds; Wk=Wake (<0.5sec)
4. Plot Accuracy 1=very accurate 2=medium 3=poor
5. In notes Column, 3 or 4 letter codes are for Non-IMO associations.
These include Old IMO showers, ALPO, DMS, Cook, and Kronk lists.
6. Special note was made of possible xi Draconids, reported in past years.
General description of "near Draco's head" radiant and medium fast meteors was
used to search for candidates. 3 meteors met that description, the radiant described
above as XDR was derived from them. In magnitude summary, SPO is all sporadics
including potential XDR's, XDR is only these 3 meteors, SPO-XDR is the
distribution of sporadic meteors with these 3 removed.
7.These two meteors occurred about 5 seconds apart on parallel paths. Possible XDR's.
8.Observed meteors per shower (Other than SAG,JLY,SPO)
