Cyclone, I have watched, and phototgraphed MANY meteor showers over the years, love them, but the Eta Aquarids has not been high on my list for some reason. Whether I have tried a few times with minimal results, am unsure.
Looking at the info on the net, seems it is worth a watch, and will give them another go.
Have you seen many Ian?
'......Every year, the earliest Eta Aquarids can be seen around April 21 and they persist until about May 12; however, the number of meteors you are likely to see will be low until around the time of the peak on May 5/6. At this time, observers in the Northern Hemisphere are likely to see about 10 meteors every hour, while Southern Hemisphere observers will see about 30 per hour.'
