 Forthcoming meteor showers
The most active two showers - the Perseids and Geminids - peak within a few days of New Moon, whilst the Taurids and Leonids are also favourably timed and the Lyrids and Orionids are fairly well timed (if you can observe late in the night).
As ever, there will be some showers unfavourably timed and in 2007 this is the case for the Eta Aquarids, Delta Aquarids-S, Alpha Capricornids and Ursids.
However, active throughout May and June are several showers whose radiants are only above the horizon during daylight hours (although in a few cases, some activity may be detectable late in the night by observers in tropical latitudes).

 NAMN Notes: May 2005
The eta Aquarids (ETA) are the highlight of the month of May - and hopefully bring good weather to you all!
These meteors can be seen from about April 19th through to May 28th, and reach their highest rates on May 5th at about 24h UT according to the IMO, the International Meteor Organization.
The eta Aquarids are fast meteors at about 66 km per second - and are well worth getting up for in the early morning hours in May. The opportunity to see debris from Halley's Comet is something special for both casual and serious observers alike!

It appears to have come from Cetus region.

This meteor was tranferred to AVI for posterity.Switch back to 25 mm lens, sky was very good with LM approaching +9.0 Found x2 swift late Orionids(?) or EGE?

Several meteor showers will be active for the pleasure of shooting star watchers during May.
The Eta Aquarids and the Omicron Cetids will peak early on the mornings of May 6th and 20th respectively.
The Eta Aquarids are caused by debris swept up by the earth as it crosses the orbit of the famous periodic comet P/Halley.

It will be visible from late evening onward.
Several meteor showers, the Eta Aquarids and the Omicron Cetids will peak early on the mornings of May 5th and 20th respectively.
Unfortunately, the moon will be 2 days before full phase so that the sky will be fairly bright when the shower peaks just after midnight with 10 to 40 events per hour.

 April to June
Later in May and throughout June, most of the meteor action switches to the daytime sky, with six shower maxima expected during this time.
Although a few meteors from the o- Cetids and Arietids have been reported from tropical and southern hemisphere sites visually in past years, ZHRs cannot be sensibly calculated from such observations.
For radio observers, the theoretical UT peaks for these showers are as follows:
