I would like to try to take some good meteor pictures during the Leonid shower on the 19th. I don't have an equatorial drive so I am resigned to the fact that I will get star trails. I have heard that 200 speed film is the way to go but should I use print or slide film? How long can the shutter stay open without the picture getting washed out? I have a 28-80 lense that is good for seeing a large portion of the sky but its widest aperture is 3.5 at 28mm and 5.6 at 80mm. Would it be better to use my 2.8/100mm macro?
Also, I live in the San Jose, CA area. Any suggestions for good spots with minimal light pollution that are fairly close by?
