Re: [APML] Again: Meteor Photography

["Thomas W. Earle" <twade@bmi.net>]

Philipp,

I used Fuji NHGII 800 last year on the Leonids, and it worked out very well.
I captured numerous meteors.  The 105 mm should be more efficient as long as
you're in the right spot a the right time which will definitely be tougher
with the Persieds than the Leonids of 2001.  It's too bad the Persieds can't
put on a show like that. :-(

I shot the Leonids with my Pentax 67 and the 45 mm f/4.0 wide open.  Check
the following URL for a sample of what can be done with this film:

It was developed normally (i.e., no push processing).  Exposures generally
were in the 10 minute range.  The location was very dark either.

I hope this helps.

...Wade...
