(meteorobs) Sekiids?




Parent Comet = Seki 1961 T1

Radiant 2000 : RA = 174/5 degrees, Dec = 17 degrees

Vgeo 65 - 70 km/s

Maximum time 2000 : Nov 20/21

EVIDENCE : Limited, with 3 DMS video database candidates in 1995, and one
Japanese MSSWG video meteor of the same year [but not as certain as the DMS
ones].

The reality and/or annual repeatability of any "Sekiids" is uncertain...
...the DMS database meteors present a tight radiant, and this probably very
weak shower would usually occur on the [non leap year] nights of 21/22 Nov,
when most people are probably winding down/travelling home from an intense
Leonid watch!

The radiant is also very near the Leonid one, requiring highest quality
plotting.
