Re: (meteorobs) Re: photo strategies for Leonids '00?



Hello All;

last year we went 50 miles from the city and I shot using a 50mm f/1.8 lens
with
Kodak Gold 400 ASA. I had 3 bright fireballs of at least -6 to -10 mag go
through the field
but whne the film was developed I could not find them at all!
 One I saw go through Orion and had my camera at that area and knew it went
through.
But nothing. Another observer was using a similar lens but 800 ASA film and
he only
got a very faint streak.

Our exposures were always 5 minutes at maximum. I keep my film in the fridge
were
the eggs go and the film does not expire till 2004! I have 100 rolls now of
the 24 exposure
Kodak Gold 400 and wonder if anyone knows why we did not get good images
like others
did in the magazines ect?

Thanks

Mike
