(meteorobs) photos of perseids
Ulrich,
The Moon will be at last quarter phase. Shooting at
ASA 3200 @ f/1.7 - - you should experience sky fog on relatively short
exposures. Just at a guess, I am thinking about a 1 minute exposure. Star trails
become evident on film at around a 20 second exposure with a camera of
50mm focal length mounted on a tripod. If your system is automated
you might consider 20 second exposures. You should grab star images of 6th
magnitude in that time if they dont wash out due to the moonlight.
