Sorry if this topic has been posted here recently.
Any suggestions what is the best time(in Sydney) to watch when it's back?
You probably mean the Eta Aquarid meteor shower when earth passes through the orbit of Halley Alan?

The comet itself won't be back next until 2061

Ah...yes. It's debris.
Thanks for correction.

Any clear early morning over the next week, peak is supposedly 7-8th May. Best time around 3am to dawn.
Never had much luck myself, mainly due to clouds ... again.
