Hello meteor people,

Although the eta-Aquariids is one of the most active meteor showers of the
year, it does not receive a lot of attention because of the difficulty to
observe this shower from northern latitudes. Also this year the number of
observations reported so far is fairly low.

To attract more observers, we just activated an online ZHR graph at:

Spread the word to your friends at slightly lower latitudes!

Clear skies,
Geert


PS: To keep the ZHR estimates reliable, the graph may automatically ignore
observing periods that were performed under low radiant elevation and/or
poor limiting magnitude. Nevertheless, you will always be credited in the
observer statistics and your data may still be used in a manual analysis.
