I must have seen more than 30 and some really nice ones too, but only caught this out of 300+ shots.

G11, ISO 400, 20Tv, 3.2Av (with slight PP)

What tips can you provide to capture the meteors better?

I did this at 25 seconds at 400 ISO.

Thanks.

Well your pretty lucky to catch this at 400 ISO . I use 1600 ISO and some 800 ISO for all my night images . I have a couple like you got here . Best info i can give you is raise your ISO and perhape exposer time to 30-secs . 25secs will work at 1600 ISO pretty good but in a really dark area your gonna need high ISO and longer exposer . If you have "Noise Reduction" in your custom settings try using that for long exposers and see if it helps . Some times i use it , sometimes i don't . What suits you best is what matters . Heres one i took : https://photography-on-the.net …p?p=10728514#po​st10728514

I went with f/1.8 ISO1600 10sec exposer. Saturday night I put on the 50mm figuring I had a small chance of getting one, but if I did it would be nice, I got 2 really nice ones. Gl and keep shooting and posting up, Love to see what you get. Here's mine from saturdaay night https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php​?t=1218454


Canon-6d, 70-200 f4L, 17-40L, 85-1.8, 50-1.4.
