Paulo and All,

On December 14 the center of the diffuse antihelion radiant will be 
located at 97 (06:28) +23. This position is not in Cancer but in western 
Gemini, 2 degrees northeast of the 3rd magnitude star Mu Geminorum. This 
is approximately 15 degrees southwest of the Geminid radiant. Since both 
radiants produce meteors of similar characteristics it will be difficult 
to distinguish between the two sources unless both radiants are included 
in your field of view.

I hope this helps!
