Yes. I didn't realize that Kim(XY) saw more alpha-Triangulds then I did on
September 11/12! I must have somehow missed his original report, but saw the
rates in his September rate report. I saw nine alpha-Triangulds in four hours
over two nights, (4) from 5:50 to 7:50 UT Sept. 10/11, and (5) from 6:23 to
8:23 UT Sept. 11/12. My average (ATR) magnitude was 3.5, with an average LM
of 6.3. I also noticed that the radiant was a few degrees NE based on a point
meteor seen at RA 30.1 +30 (epoch 1950 - Norton's Star Atlas).
