Subject: [IMO-News] First few Draconid data
>
>
>
> No enhanced 2004 Draconid activity so far
> -----------------------------------------
>
> A few verbal reports about observations on October 5/6,
> 2004 do not indicate enhanced activity from the Draconid
> meteor shower this year. Dust trail computations by
> Isao Sato, Japan, showed a number of close encounters
> for Oct 5, 2004 between 22h and 23h UT.
>
> Unfortunately, I mixed the names of Isao Sato and Mikiya
> Sato in my posting on October 5. The computations by Isao
> are entirely different from the ones by Mikiya Sato. Com-
> putations by Mikiya showed Jovian perturbations in the
> 20th century making dense dust trails unlikely.
>
> The reports from 7 observers had typically 1 Draconid per
> session, maximum 2 Draconids. The data allow us to say
> that no enhanced activity of ZHR > 10 occurred, but are
> inconclusive with respect to the actual ZHR level exhib-
> ited by the shower on Oct 5/6.
