[APML] Leonid Film Queston

[Aplanatic@aol.com]

Hi list:

I know that this subject has been kicked around in the past.  However, since 
35 mm color negative films change almost continually, I thought I'd better 
ask again.

I'll be shooting the Leonids next month with three Nikon lenses: 

1) A zoom lens at 35 mm at f/4, 5 minute exposures, pointed at the radiant;

2) a standard 50 mm at f/4, 5 minute exposures, pointed at the zenith;

3) a zoom lens at 100 mm at f/5.6, 1 hour exposure.

For the one hour shot, I'll probably use hypered RG200 per the recent 
discussion.  What do you recommend for the 5 minute exposures?  The goal is 
to capture the faintest possible Leonid.  

Thanks a bunch,

Dave Rowe
