Night shooters, post your meteor shots
Look towards Vega, 5th brightest star in the sky.......shower seems to originate here. Shower can be seen from anywhere in US.

Shower? We're supposed to get rain! Not much good for meteor pix, I've heard. :(

Last night was overcast here on L.I. And I think tonight will be more of the same. On the odd chance that I can see them can someone tell me/us what settings should be used?
I'm thinking long exposure with a 35mm f1.8 on my Nikon D5100.
I also have an 18-55mm kit lens and a 50 mm f1.8.
Thanks, and thanks, too, for the Earthsky website.

There must be something in the air here in the Mohawk Valley because for the past 10 years or so I can't recall one night when we had clear skies during a meteor shower or other meteorological event. It's frustrating.
