Eta Aquarid - Meteor Shower

For the Meteor shower buffs out there
The Eta Aquriads peak this Thus & Fri Morning (4 am is best observing time).
ZHR should be about 30/Hr.
If you have never made the effort to take in a meteor shower, it can be worth while.
Recomendations: Warm Clothes, Thermos of Coffee, reclining chair of some sort.
I have done this several time's (Not just for the leonids) & it has been an awsome experience in some cases.(noteably the perseids in Aug)
See this link for more detailed Info on the Eta Aquarid's + more !
