(meteorobs) Re: video observations June 99
Sirko,
Thanks for the video observations. I'm curious if your June Lyrids truly
lined up with the JLY radiant or if they are in fact Xi Draconids. In 3
nights of plotting last month I had only 1 meteor that could have
possibly been a June Lyrid. On the other hand there were 8 that appeared
to be Xi Draconids.
Clear Skies!
