Re: (meteorobs) Hello from Nashville...

Hi Steven and Carlos,

I am not in Nashville and also not near to it. In fact I live in a small
country named Holland at the other side of the Atlantic. But thanks to the
internet we are now a global village. Observers of the Dutch Meteor Society
do a lot on photographing meteors. Maybe you should take a look at our
website as you will find lots of information on how to photograph meteors,
kind of equipment we use and results we have acquired such as with the
Geminids 1996.

The URL is: http://www.pidot net/~terkuile/meteors/dms.htm

Good luck and keep observing!

Casper.
