And here is my first and only effort:-

I was shooting at ISO 800 there - about 20 sec exposures, I think. Didn't really capture much starlight. I had the lens stopped down a bit. I'm going to leave it wide open this time. I think I'll stay at ISO 800. Meteors should be bright enough. I think the camera is noisy at 1600 - I'd hate to try 3200, which is its max setting!

It's in the down time for ICNR that worries me - you know that the best meteors will go by while the camera is processing the last frame!

Maybe I'll save as RAW with ICNR off - decisions/decisions
