Glad you mentioned that, Jerry, because I was about to.
So, someone want to post hints on how best to photograph the meteor
showers tonight? I'm not talking about doing it with the fancy-dancy
astro-photo stuff... just yer basic outfit.
Should I use a wide angle (24/2.8 or 28/2.8), normal (50/1.8 or 50/1.4),
or telephoto (I don't have a prime, so I guess it'll be the 75-150/4)? We'll
be using ASA 200 print film, so what would be a suitable starting point
for exposure settings (speed/aperture)? Suggestions, anyone???

Awwww!!! The forecast (so far) for Edmonton is clear and cold. But, of
course, that could change at a moments notice. I'm hoping if the leonid
show isn't spectacular, maybe there'll be some northern lights we can
aim at.
Regards,
Chris
