Since the daytime sky is blue and bright meteors radiate
in all colors (including infra-red), a red filter would enhance
the contrast. However, meteor photography relies on long
exposures which are impossible during the daytime. To capture
a daylight meteor shower, I suggest to use a wide angle video.
