That's a great set up Paul. With a huge field like that you have a high chance of catching something cool. It looks the same size as the field generated by my wide conversion lens to. The only problem is that any meteors will look small on the image. However we are not after an average meteor are we..we want big fireballs so the wide angle will be good for that. I had 10 min's of semi clear sky last night. Seen 1 Perseid and 1 horizontal moving Alpha Cap. I was using the wide angle to..which is huge. Here's a patrol image, pity about the noise.



Weather looks very poor indeed but I will be keeping an eye out anyway. On the plus side it may be improving for the lunar eclipse.  Smiley
