Joseph,
1500 frames and he got 48 with "faint meteor traces".
The picture is spectacular, but the disc space involved is a bit
excessive for me.
About 25 Gig of raw, or about $3 worth of hard drive space per
complete backup, if you keep all of them.
Why would you "keep" any more than the 48?
That's like shooting a fence post 1500 times and keeping them all,
even though the image you were going after only manifested itself in a
few.
Of course, I've never thrown out a digital image. I just make them
invisible in Aperture with a '9' designate.
