Hi all!
Just I reply interesting massage from John Greaves.
Best regards,

MPEC put out an updated orbit for this the other day, now with 68 obs
over a one month arc.
The orbit is still only with a parabolic solution, but shoving the data
thro' metrad shows the predicted radiant details to be even more like
those for the deltra Pavonids, with the max date only a week or so
different.
Coincidence is ruled out a bit due to the high inclination(s).
Obviously an elliptical solution will have to eventually exist for
C/2001 Q4 for there to be a real connection, and one not too very
eccentric for a shower to be still around. If the comet undergoes
nongrav. forces as it nears the sun, any past apparition is not
necessarily of the same orbit, etc, &c.
Cheers
John
