Hello,
I've just seen that a major meteor shower is going to be highly visible in less than a week. I'd like to know how to get the best shot and if the method of operation is similar to the Milky Way shot explained on the site?
Thank you
Hi,
Beside some very informative articles about night sky photography on this site, there is a comprehensive guide at NASA's web site:

Great
Yes, capturing a meteor shower is quite similar to photographing the Milky Way, with a few key adjustments. You’ll want to use a wide-angle lens, shoot with a high ISO (typically ISO 1600–3200), and a long exposure (10–25 seconds) to capture faint meteors. Use manual focus set to infinity and a tripod to keep your camera steady. Take continuous shots (interval shooting or a remote shutter release helps) to increase your chances of catching meteors. Lastly, scout a dark-sky location well away from city lights for the clearest view.
