Well, the key to success on meteor-showers photography is a great number of
cameras with very fast film (at least ASA 1600) and lenses (like 50/1.4),
in order to cover nearly all the sky -- nine cameras with nothing longer
than a 50mm (nor shorter than 35mm) is an usual setup. Wide-angles aren't
good for this because they have too much light fall-off at corners and/or
they're very slow -- pity there isn't an f/1.4 fisheye over there!
My astrophotographic interests make me use quite unusual films, wich won't
allow me to use that body for other tasks, so having
more-than-a-reasonable-amount of bodies is a nice thing for me, anyway ;-)

I appreciate the comments on the Aria and its lenses. I guess my
joke about 360 degree panoramas was accidentally close to the truth.
