Hello all.

My name is Iakovos Marios & I live in Greece (Athens). The last five years I've been an observer of Planets (Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn) & Sun. In the past few months I started to be interesting in "Meteor Observing". 

For that reason I have setup 2 Canon DSLR Cameras with 17mm f/3.5 lens looking out for meteors all night... Every night passing the camera's recording about 1-3 meteors...

I wonder if there is any cheap and easy way to record (photography-video-radio) meteors without having to take about 9.000 pictures every night (it is bad for the shutters of my cameras, my computer having all those Gb every morning, and I personaly do not have all that time to chek all those pictures).

I will be glad to hear any propositions about equipement and observing programms & make observations usefull to those interesting in the Meteor section.
