I saw about a dozen meteorites over 20 minutes. This was the very best and I was very lucky the camera was pointing in the right direction on the tripod. Using a Canon 85mm f1.4 lens. Would really have needed to use 35mm or wider to cover the section of sky with meteorites. But I am very happy with this one.
