I plan on using Konica Centuria 800 film (best astro film I find). For
non-piggyback pics, I will be using my 50 1.4 t f2 for 30 sec. I will then
piggyback my Om1n on my Celestron C8 deluxe telescope (polar aligned of
course) and use my Vivitar 24 at f4 and let my exposure go for a minute.
I hope it is clear here in Canada (Ottawa)

Subject: [OM] Leonid lens and exposure rec
I'm going to make an attempt to shoot the leonids - my lens options
include 16/3.5, 21/3.5, 28/2.8, 24/2.8, 50/1.2, 50/1.4, and 50/1.8 (I
also have a Kenko adaptor that turns the 50 into an 8) and I'll
probably load Fuji Press 800. I'll be shooting on the farm, will be
dark with only distant lights (there's a town 6 or 8 miles away, and
there may possibly be a farm house light 2 miles away, depending on
where I end up shooting).
What lens and what exposure time would you use?
