Bob, those Northern-Hemispherians blessed with the rare January clear night
will certainly do our (their) parts to help nail down this POSSIBLE radiant.
By the way, my understanding is that these meteors are expected to be both
sparse (very few per hour) and also predominantly fainter. Considering that
and the fact that a radiant point is NOT well determined, I wonder if this
would be a good target for Telescopic Meteor observers?
Malcolm, for those interested in helping explore a possible radiant in this
region, what TM Chart Numbers and observing times would you recommend?
Clear skies,
