Hi Barb
Meteor imaging can be a challenge at the best of times, and with the speed that meteors pass by, could just be a bit much for Digital Cameras to capture.
I have done much imaging in this field and have found, to date that a simple Film SLR, with bulb setting, and a fast fixed focus lens of at least F1.4 or F1.8 is the most suitable
I use an old Olympus OM 2 Camera with a F1.4 lens set a infinity and expose as long as possible, both tracking or fixed tripod, non tracking.
Depending on the area you live in Sky Fogging can also be a problem.
A film ASA speed of 400 is usually used with HP5, Black and White Film.
Hope this helps, Leon
