(meteorobs) New Radiant ?



Meteoric greetings! 

two  year ago , in the moonfree night sky of 27 July
2000 , our group[ North Star Group, Iran ] was
obderving Southern Delta Aquarids(SDA) shower.
Time was 23:11 UT (27 July) , in a few second 10-15
meteors which all wereyellow and had zero-first
magnitude coming from a radiant  of RA~34 , Dec ~+28
at first, we think that these are belong to the
perseids, due to daily motion 
of shower radiant but our guess was not correct. 
Last year , near the maximum activity of  SDA  when we
begin to observe it.
by regarding the presence of other radiants.we also
record the sporadic meteors 
data as time and magnitude. during 27,28 July 2001 ,
we observe some meteors
 that seems they nearly come from the radiant lies on
our probable radiant.
they also were yellow. we refer to some valid
references as IMO and AMS 
shower calenders but found nothing.
according to following  information of meteor are
given:
