Re: (meteorobs) Re: quads on the 3rd not 4th
Hi Bob,
If the Quadrantids maximum arrives exactly at 18 UT (assuming max
ZHR=120), how strong could we expect the ZHR to be approximately 6
hours later?
If I recall correctly, a number of Japanese observers reported seeing
fairly strong Quadrantids rates during the 2001 return. This would
seem to be at least a few hours after the predicted maximum. I'm
hoping that perhaps another late performance from this shower might
improve the odds of seeing some earthgrazers along the east-coast of
North America?
In any case, I'll be hoping for clear skies.
