[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I've got a 100B and will be in the Southern CA desert for this event. Does anyone have experience or recommendations for making this capture the best it can be with the 100B? BTW, I'd like to time lapse the overnight event.
Any input on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
August 12, 13 - Perseids Meteor Shower. The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at their peak. This year's shower should peak on the night of August 12 and the morning of the 13th, but you may be able to see some meteors any time from July 23 - August 22. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Perseus. The thin, crescent moon will be out of the way early, setting the stage for a potentially spectacular show. For best viewing, look to the northeast after midnight.[/FONT]
