Re: [APML] Leonid Film Suggestions

["Arne Danielsen" <arnedani@online.no>]

I have decided to use Kodak Supra 800, Fuji Superia 800 and Fuji Superia 400 for
this years Leonids. Only history will show if this turns out to have been a good
decision. :-)

Right now the weather is my main concern! I will be off to Skibotn (near Tromsų)
in the northern parts of Norway tomorrow and the weather prospects doesn't look
good. The low-pressure areas are stacking up in the Atlantic heading for the
central to northern parts of Norway. I really hope we will be able to escape the
clouds and find some clears skies!

Best regards,
Arne
