Thanks for the notice, George. I believe there was also further independent
confirmation of this radiant from other IMO observers, too, wasn't there.
BTW, folks, this is a good time to emphasize one point: when doing meteor
plotting, and ESPECIALLY when trying to confirm a suspect radiant, do NOT
let yourself be aware of the precise radiant location... Otherwise, it is
likely you will become a case-study in subconscious bias, and any confirm-
ation you are able to make will unfortunately probably remain suspect...
Clear skies and HAPPY PLOTTING this year!
