Hi James,
We're in the peak soon for Eta Aquarids, a shower we can accredit to Halley's comet. - Jodie

Hi all,
Especially last night, I'm noticing the radar scatter rates peaking / wavering between 20 to 70 per hour in pre-dawn hours. Most of them are under-dense, but there are a few persistent over-dense ones smattered about. Interestingly, those have been absent compared to previous years.
The months prior to that have been almost nil. Are these sporadics or is this a known minor shower?
James
