What exposure for the Orionids tonight?
Is Live Composite the right choice?

But I don't think that Live Composite is necessarily good for looking at STARS. For the Orionids, aren't you looking for things that appear and then disappear quickly (i.e. meteors). That should work OK, I should think (although the stars may look streaked in the background, I suppose).Live composite gave me streaks rather than spots. I used 4-8 seconds, iso 800, f/3.5, 12mm.
It seemed to capture, but then after a few cycles (I was running to about 40 seconds), the stars had moved so it captured the new light and made the streak.
Thinking maybe a single 10-20 second exposure?
