Hi Esko,
> Eleven meteors out of total 19, seemed to come from a single radiant of no
more than a few degrees wide.
>
> The derived radiant is in RA 162, dec +79 and the meteors seemed to be
relatively fast.
> They were quite bright with two around -5 .
> Most were in the evening or local midnight, centered maybe around 19 UT,
(first 17:06 (after dark enough) and last 22:41UT)
I checked my video observations with the intensified camera AVISII. It was
operated between 20:03 and 04:00 UT. The camera recorded 121 meteors, and the
strongest showers were ORI 21, NTA 8 and DAU 7. Only three to five meteors fit
to the given radiant with velocities tested between 30 and 60 km/s. They are
even distributed over time and not very bright.
The picture looks different for my non-intensified camera Mincam1, though. It
was operated between 17:27 and 04:35 UT and recorded 27 meteors. The strongest
shower was ORI with 4. However, 7 meteors match both with respect to position
and velocity _perfectly_ to the radiant given by you if a geocentric velocity of
45 km/s is assumed. They are slightly brighter than average (XXX -0.5 mag, ORI
+0.5 mag, SPO +0.1 mag) and they seem indeed to be strongest before midnight:

From these figures together with Jarmo's data I would conclude that there was a
indeed activity from a radiant not fram from Lambda Draconis with a small
r-value.
Best,
Sirko
