I read Alastair's note on this possible radiant with interest and
wondered to myself if this could in any way be associated with the
activity reported in the Bootes-Serpens-Corona area in early February.
After doing a bit of calculating this seems unlikely unless there is an
unusually high daily radiant drift in right ascension or the radiant for
the January Coma Berenicids actually lies further east than indicated. 

Regardless I hope that those who have clear skies next week and are able
to observe will help us determine if there is indeed an active radiant
in Coma Berenices this time of year and help us to pinpoint its exact
location.

Clear Skies!
