Abstract
This may represent one of the most confused of the well-known annual meteor streams due to a pair of very diffuse radiants. To make matters worse, visual observations are complicated by the addition of the two Delta Aquariid streams and several streams coming out of Capricornus during July and August…not to mention the fact that the Iota Aquariids sit in the Antihelion region of the sky.
