contents We use the $η$ invariants of spin$^c$ Dirac operators to distinguish connected components of moduli spaces of Riemannian metrics with positive Ricci curvature. We then find infinitely many non-diffeomorphic five dimensional manifolds for which these moduli spaces each have infinitely many components. The manifolds are total spaces of principal $S^1$ bundles over $\#^a\mathbb{C}P^2\#^b\overline{\mathbb{C}P^2}$ and the metrics are lifted from Ricci positive metrics on the bases. Along the way we classify 5-manifolds with fundamental group $\mathbb{Z}_2$ admitting free $S^1$ actions with simply connected quotients.
