Supposed to be a meteor shower from Earth passing through the comet Kiess' tail starting around 2 AM PST on Saturday, peaking around 4:30 (11:37 GMT). This'll be visible from the west coast U.S. and eastern Pacific - they'll be very low on the horizon in Australia, and visible 7 hours after the predicted maximum, though. Not visible from east coast U.S. or Europe, sorry.

I saw about 14 of them but missed the biggest one because I was using an umbrella to block the moon and it went through on that track.

I only actually spotted one, but the light pollution is pretty atrocious where I am in southeast, & plenty roofs and trees in the way.
