Kevin,

Thanks for looking out for any "Lynxids" ! I tried looking for them
again Jan 11/12, 12/13, without any luck, either.

During my Jan 11/12 session, I saw 7 that came from Pisces, around 0h
30m, +05°. Its possible I was seeing something called the "anti-apex"
meteors, radiant around 90° from the sun. Any of your "Sporadics" come
from this vicinity? If not, try keeping an eye out for these anti-apex
meteors.

Thanks,

Mike.
