Details:
From the Atacama Desert, the Southern Delta Aquarid meteor shower provided a steady stream of visible meteors. Most of them were very small, and very fast. Mostly they were undetected by the camera, yet visible to the star gazer so it was a most enjoyable night under the stars. Attached are three shots. There is a composite showing what to me looks like 3 Delta Aquarids, and a lone Persied looking south east with the Magellanic Clouds near dawn. There is a lone bright Persied above Orion early in the East near 4am over the volcanoes of the Altiplano Plateau where ALMA is located. And there is a picture of a lone Delta Aquarid near the Small Magellanic Cloud early in the evening.
