(meteorobs) re eta Lyrids too late
Just a quick note to Mike Linnolt:
I myself had never heard of the eta Lyrids until today, the
IRAS-Iraki-Alcock bit just happened to tally with some half finished stuff
on my hard disk... ...there's lots of half finished stuff on my hard disk,
most of which will no doubt turn out to be rubbish and therefore for
keeping very quiet...!
But if it's any re-assurance, I shoved IRAS-Iraki-Alcock's orbital elements
through the radiant prediction software earlier on and got RA 291 degrees,
Dec 45 degrees [2000], Vgeo 45 km/s, but maximum date _15th_ May! I can't
swear to how accurate that last bit is, but in tandem with some earlier
comments made by Marco Langbroek, I reckon you've a few days yet for this
shower.
Still stuff all recompense for last night though...
Cheers
John
