THIS IS INCORRECT. I incorrectly read the RA, which was in Roman Numerals
on my Norton's Star Atlas. I must have been dislexic (sp?) when I did a quick
look at the coordinates. The Taurid radiant seen by Bob and others was seen
at 04+20; NOT 06+20! Sorry, about the mistake. I'll read my Roman Numerals 
more carefully next time.
