Smile Couple of meteors

Popped outside for 2 hours this am to check out the Eta Aquarids.
Between 4 and 5am, I saw about 12 meteors, of which 10 were EQs. Beautiful and clear, though a Moon positioned pretty close to Aquarius, and a couple of meteors literally 'dropped' from the Moon.
pic 1 - a satellite travelling down through Lyra, then a meteor whizzes through from the right of pic.
pic 2 - eta Aquarid through Lyra
pic 3 - Scorpious cos it was looking mighty fine
