Last two nights my camera captured 17 Southern delta Aquarids meteors. Those meteors range in magnitude 1.3 to –2.3 and velocities between 37km/ses to 50km /sec and were visible for 0.1 to 0.4 seconds. Most of sdA meteors were captured between 2 to 5AM. As Ian mentioned there is also number of minor meteor showers active and also increased sporadic meteor activity. Unfortunately we also have lot of cloud moving overhead, cutting the number of captured meteors.
