Hi folks:

 1) What is the best configuration for a camera array to capture as many

meteors as possible?  Will a saturated coverage ( 2x2 or 3x3 ) arrays
work better than  the normal cameras  looking at fixed elevation but
spread out around the azimuth?[ with gaps in between] 50mm lens and a
ASA800 film.

2)  I guess changing film in the middle of storm is bad - does that
means I need to stretch the (36-1) shots to cover the 1 -1/2 to 2 hours
duration with dead time in between shots? A 3 minutes on and 1 minute
dead time means 35x4= 140 min or 2 hrs 20 min or variation of these.

Any other recommendations?

Thanks
