Re: (meteorobs) photos of perseids



    In response to Ulrich's message regarding photographing the Perseids, film type, exposure length etc.  The first thing you should be asking yourself is: "What are you trying to accomplish and what is the purpose of doing this?"  Are you doing this just to get some interesting photographs of meteors or do you intend on extracting scientific information from your efforts?  If the latter, who will or can make use of your images?  The end user should be asked for their recommendations.
    If your doing this for fun, you can pretty much do your own thing!  If cooperating with someone doing a scientific program standard proceedures should be set so results from various locations can easily be compared.
