Persoid Meteors

[Isis]

Does anyone have any tips on how to photograph the meteors that are supposed to be at their peak tonight? I have to work until 1AM so I will be going out after then which should be a perfect time.

We had the most awful weather-it was solid cloud all night so I missed out.

You need to be in a dark area-any light pollution will over expose your shot. Do you have a bulb setting on your camera, where you can leave the shutter open permanently?

Two ways-use bulb, cover the lens till you see activity (with card for instance) and then uncover till the meteor is gone.

Otherwise, most will do a 15 second exposure. You'll have to keep repeating that. Go for a large aperture (low F number) and play around with your ISO. Higher of course will expose faster but will have more noise and the problem there is that you are looking for fine detail-the noise may affect it.

Good luck, and please share any results you get!
