Eta Aquarids 2011

Its that time of the year again where the offspring of that most famous Comet Halley grace our morning skies.

I have watched and enjoyed this early morning meteor shower on several occasions & this year will be no exception, as FINALLY the clouds and rain ease off. The Eta's are noted for their high speed & rates of up to 30 to 40/hr for us lucky folks in the southern hemisphere.
I hope you skies are clear and I look forward to your observing reports of the Eta Aquarids.
