From a fairly light polluted back-yard view I counted 20 Eta's and 16 Sporadics between 4:30-5:30.
Three were Sirius-ly(
) bright and within seconds of each other.
One sporadic was not bright but pretty impressive as it travelled maybe 30 degrees in 3 seconds (slow compared to the Eta's) while leaving a nice trail.
I've never done this before, was pretty surprised how many occur at large distances from the radiant, like 80deg away.
I reasoned (correctly?) that they can occur anywhere up to 90deg from the radiant? I figured that would explain why the highest counts are at Zenith(ZHR) because you have 90deg from radiant in all directions... is that right?
Will be back out there tomorrow morning
EDIT:
For interest sake, the previous morning I counted 9 Eta's and 8 Sporadic's in the same time period (4:30-5:30), though a couple of those sporadics could have been Eta's.
Some time was lost when some thin high altitude cloud passed through.
