[NOTE FROM EDITOR: There was a recent post which listed the many meteor shower
calendars available online for questions like this one! The most authoritative
is generally the IMO's: http://www.imodot net/calendar/cal01.html  --Lew Gramer]

I saw a ~mag 0 meteor that reminded me of a Perseid in it's speed and
appearance on 7/10/01 at about 3:10am local Portland Oregon USA time.

However the path of the meteor did not trace back directly into the
constellation Perseus.

Is it possible to see a Perseid this early? If so, is there a star map
available that would show the radiant position for 7/10/2001 ?

Thanks for any info,
Dustin Brown
