Quadrantids - 2022

Post by Wyvern »

Hi all,
Here are my Quadrantid results for 2022. (Heatmap and graph.)
Seems to be slightly different from the "usual" Quadrantid sharp rise to max and drop off, in that I saw a "mini-max" in the 03UT-04UT period on the 3rd Jan and a "main-max" the following day around 02UT-03UT (4th Jan), with subsequent lowering rates the next day.
Anyone else see similar?

Regards to all,
Les

Cheers for that Rainer, and especially for that IMO link - now downloaded for reference purposes.

Best wishes,
