Thanks jim, I kinda figured it was the kappa aquarids and a couple other non
listed IMO showers that would have an apparent radiant shift of nearly 20
degrees. Actually, I was looking for any large shifts that would be listed
amongst IMO's working list of showers. These showers were listed by IMO as
those that have activity high enough to make observing efforts worthwhile to
retrieve usable scientific data from.
