Current south delta-Aqr meteor shower peak
The south delta-Aqr minor meteor stream is currently in its peak and is giving a strong ZHR flux this year. For ham operators who want to try at radio meteor communications, tonight between 8 and 11 UT (2am to 5am MDT) might be a good reflection window. For visual observers, the waxing gibbous Moon is near the radiant and is washing out the sky.
