Paul; I am getting my film developed and if I captured any meteors from the Antennas site at Hovatter Road, I will bring them to the SAC meeting. After seeing several of the fireballs, I would put on the 50mm lens and = aim it somewhere "up" and let it track while we got a sandwich and chatted. = So, we will see.
