Re: Meteor shower tonight
Saw a brilliant blue/white one within about two minutes of sitting down...
Set my camera up for 30 second exposures to try and capture as long a time period as possible and so far managed to get this one:

If anyone has any tips on what shutter speed and aperture to use, I'll give them a go... currently using 4.5Ap and 30 second shutter.
I was lucky to get that as I'd zoomed the camera in rather than having it pulled right out, just cos I was taking one more shot before going and waiting for it to get darker, so I was having a play.
Re: Meteor shower tonight
