Aperture, bigger
I recommend ~35mm to 50mm lens for 35mm cameras, ~20mm to 35mm for APS size
sensors to catch some sky, as you can't predict exactly where the trails
will appear. Must be on tripod. No point in having any of the ground in the
shot, unless for effect. NO LIGHTS IN FRAME! Lens should be wide open,

well go out and shoot some shooting stars.
What are good settings for shooting such
