Hi guys,

thanks so much for your attempts.

Bert, I've found that with my Canon 10D (unmodified) and a 20mm f2 lens @ 3200asa I can only get meteors down to about mag 2 - and they appear very faint. I've been watching Levy's radiant for five nights now and believe that there is slight activity in the order of 2-3 meteors an hour - however, most of those were below mag 3 so perhaps your 5DH never got them (I'd be surprised if it did). I'm unsure about the specs of the GStarEx but look forward to any data (if that's okay with you)...

Thanks heaps for this. I'm going out tomorrow morning at about 3:30am - after the Moon sets. It's getting a bit bright and hindering now.

Cheers

John
