Meteor shower
Eta Aquariids
Active, around 8 an hour
Best around 5:08 AM
The rate at the top is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. Clouds are not counted here: check the sunset page for those.
Comes from Halley's Comet. Best from the Southern Hemisphere, in the hours before dawn.

Launched - fair from here
Lifted off 7:42 PM
The plume will be lit, but the sky behind it is still bright enough to wash it out. Twenty minutes later would be the shot.
