ok, i very rarely do meteor stuff (only twice thus far....), so i can use some 
advice. 

during the last shower (perseids) i used superia 400, f/3.5 and exposed each 
frame for about 5mins. the sky was washed out... so this time 
around i'm thinking super G 100, f/5.6. sound ok? or what about f8 and 10mins? 
i will have three camera bodies, so the longer exposure will be 
a nice thing or i'll really burn film (not to mention get any rest, moving from 
one cmea to the next ad infinitum)

not worried too much about cost of film (run me under a buck a roll of 24), i 
would really like to get a decent exposure. i would like to run some 
test to skyfog limit, but a nice starting value .... a live in the suburbs, on 
a hill, lots of trees around, so sky is reasonably dark, but some skyglow 
from city lights to the south.
