I couldn't agree more!
Just to oblige Cathy, here is my update of observations until this morning,
May 18. This will probably be my last run on the eta Aquarids this year,
other priorities take over, and I need to get back to a normal sleep
pattern. Once I complete my analysis of the observations, including the
magnitude distributions I'll post this on Meteorobs.
The eta Aquarid rates are now well down, and should be around the sporadic
rates in a day or two, by which time the moon will start to interfere
anyway. This morning I saw good sporadic rates, including a handful from
the head of Pegasus. Anyone up north see anything similar?
My next meteor project will be the continuation of several years plotting on
the early June activity from the Scorpio/Sagittarids.
