Thanks. I checked out some of your videos & your facebook page. Good stuff, we share some interests. Great video on the time lapse meteor photography. I like the towel trick. I've never done that. A few comments 1) consider getting a dew heater for your lens. 2) I like to expose for 25 seconds, get more stars that way 3) For meteor photos, biggest file size possible. Big files are not good for timelapse, so consider RAW + JPEG. When you get that super meteor, you'll wish you had a bigger pic!
