>From the Astro Photographers Mailing List (APML), ISO 800 film for 2-4
minutes at f/2 is the leading favorite, closely followed by ISO 400 for
around 5 minutes. A few guys have suggested using 1600 or even konica's
3200 film since a meteor streak is fast and fleeting. A normal to wide lens
is preferred for both speed and angle of coverage. A very stout tripod is,
of course, required. Hang a weight from the centerpost if need be - a very
soft breeze can cause a lot of damage to an image when the shutter is open
for a long time.
Clear skies and good luck,
John P
