Hello Mark and all, March 1.9 UT would make it approximately 5 p.m. EST, 4 p.m. CST and so on for the evening of March 1. The position of the radiant given in the IAUC note is rather odd. It lists the RA in the nonstandard format of 13 degrees rather than in hours and minutes. The southerly declination of -64 degrees puts the radiant out of view for most of North America. Assuming the radiant is well-placed due south during the evening it would lie right at the southern horizon for the Florida Keys. Not knowing the the standard right ascension numbers I can't go any further to suggest a location. Can anyone out there convert 13 degrees RA into the standard format? Bob
