Dave,
Using hypered film to
shoot meteors is pointless... the meteor flashes by in a second or two... hardly
a situation that requires the control of reciprocity failure. Instead, you want
a film that can capture a very faint burst of light... so here a "fast" film
like Fuji 800 press film that can also be pushed a stop might be a better
choice. You have a grain situation with this film but it might do the best
recording.
I have a way to test
meteor films.... airplanes! Just aim the camera at a plane and record away...
then inspect the film to see how deeply the plane etched itself into the
emulsion. Keep track of the visual brightness of the plane
so you have some idea of the films performance.
Of course with the way the
fronts are already moving in, it will be a miracle if it is clear! Sunglow if
the West Coast is clouded out?
