Delta Aquarids?

Yesterday late afternoon showed the sort of signal I was expecting from meteors.  At around midnight there was a longer lasting event.

The night before had nothing to show on it.  This is what most of my data looks like, I need to find some data to confirm my readings.

The Perseid meteor shower will peak on 12th August and this should be more intense than the Delta Aquarids.  It will be interesting to make the comparison between them.

Delta Aquarids

Last night was a bad night for observing meteors too many clouds so delighted that my over the horizon radio system seems to have picked up all the action.  For over a month I have detected next to nothing but now we are in meteor season I am expecting lots more like this.  All of the null data when there was nothing much happening validates this observation.  I will post tomorrow the results of tonight's observations.
