Meteors -Delta Cancerids

I dont know if anyone else noticed this ... but there was an abnormal peak of the Delta Cancerids on Friday the 7th.
While we were viewing Machholz, there was a peak of 10-12/hr for a shower that is only supposed to have a peak ZHR of 4 on the 17th.
Many of them were quite bright too
A nice bonus while getting such great Comet view's

Boy is that comet scooting along, managed a quick peek tonight before the clouds set in
Im sure it is a bit easier naked Eye tonight & even shows hints of the tail with averted vision.
