(meteorobs) eta Aquarids 2004 and TLE
Hi All
Just want to clear up an error i made regarding an unfavourable moon phase
for the 2004 ETA's - i stated that it wash a washout with the full moon for
2004 - at the time i didnt realise there was TLE for the morning of the 5th
May 2004 -

The TLE favours most of Africa and parts of Asia - we do get some of it here
in Adelaide Australia (mid eclipse is around dawn), but Western Australia is
in the prime position for Australia. Hopefully a bright post perihilion
Comet C/2002 T7 LINEAR should be in the morning sky as well.
What an amazing year for favourable moon phases for the major showers and
some of the mid level showers in 2004! (I know some list members have
already mentioned this but i though i would add the ETA's)
Quadrantids FQ
Lyrids NM
eta-Aquarids TLE on peak morning
Southern delta-Aquarids FQ
Persieds NM
Orionids FQ
Leonids FQ
Geminids NM
Does this happen often?
Its going to be a busy year!!
Cheers and bright exploding Geminids to all! (even if the moon is in
Gemini!!)
