	Dear colleagues,

The past night our team continue working on minor showers activity from
double station network. Juli Castellano-Roig observed 6 meteors
radiating from RA=3D309=B0 & Dec=3D+67=B0 in the interval 01h10-02h05 TU
(approx. mean geocentric velocity 35km/s). Considering the uncertainty
in the radiant visual position, possibly these meteors were Omicron
Draconids. Please note the following data that reveals an important
activity of Pegasids.=20
