well, no more eclipses in the near future, but should one pop up, i'll know 
what not do do, and what to do. as far as prep goes for the leonids, it'll 
be:
OM1n w/ 50/1.8MC
OM1n w/ 28/3.5
Exa w/ 50/2.8
I'll most likely stop them down to 5.6 at least, 11 at the most, depening on 
some test i plan to run before the meteors hit, to see how long i can 
go w/o getting sky fog. since i'll really be burning film, i'll have to settle 
for fuji super hg, or kodak gold, 200 speed both of them, which i can get 
for about 1.50 a roll. might try to borrow the C8 again from school this 
winter, maybe get it aligned to polaris and attempt deepsky stuff. we'll see
