Description

Took images between 20h00 and 06h00 on the night of 15 / 16 of May and picked up a few meteors - the peak is apparently around the 5th of May but we had cloud coverage and though would give it a go with my allsky setup. Eta Aquariids are a meteor shower associated with Halley's Comet. The shower is visible from about April 19 to about May 28 each year. Cosmetic correction of selected frames (50 for the base, 38 meteors) and aligned in Photoshop to get meteors in the same area of sky relevant to the Milky Way base. As the ASI224MC was used the resolution is not the best regarding the Milky Way.
