JAS held an observing night on 4-5/5/1998 to observe the 1998 Eta Aquarids meteor shower.

Observation's location was in Um-Nowwarah (Amman), where it was slightly light polluted. However, the Eastern horizon was fairly good; we estimated the limiting magnitude to be around 5.2.

The coordinates of the observing site are, Long.: + 35:57:56, Lat.: + 31:56:22

Observation was started at around 2:30 am local time (23:30 UT), and lasted for nearly two hours due to the twilight. The first hour was too much bored; about three Aquarids meteors only were seen. While the second hour was much better; around 12 Aquarids meteors were seen !

The observers were: Khalid Al-Tall, Hani Al-Dalee, and Mohammad Odeh.
