So if your fortunate to get clear skies its worth pointing your camera to the skies and seeing if you can capture a meteor! You will need a tripod but other than that any camera that you can set a long shutter speed on will do the job. Basic staring point would be a the widest aperture you can get, ISO around 1600 to 3200 and a shutter speed of between 15 and 30 seconds dependent on the lens/camera used.
Yeah ... I keep thinking about it... but we’ve been in a constant state of gloomy overcast for the last few weeks... right now Saturday is projected to be clear - so if that holds out maybe I’ll have a chance to get this done!
I do plan to go out and shoot something during the time frame of this challenge. We are also experiencing some cloudy nights at present so I don't know if I'll get to see the meteors or not. We'll see if nature cooperates!
@northy@kali66@olivetreeann@kiwinanna@jgpittenger Thanks for the replies let's hope there are some clear skies! The challenge runs until the new year so there's bound to be some clear skies before then I hope. I also meant to add that there is a comet visible this week it peaks around the 15th and should be to the left of the seven sisters constellation assuming you have clear skies!
