Since it didn't terribly matter exactly where I was aiming my lens, I used lightroom's panorama feature to string a bunch together including my one meteor, which gave me 16291x2704:

It seems as if my FA31 and FA77 focus at infinity all of the way at the stop. I tried focusing by aiming a green laser at the trees at the distance.

Does anyone know what nebula I captured? It's about halfway between the trees and the right edge of the photo.

I suspect that a lot of short exposures will have the advantage of
running at a higher ISO and making it easier to capture a dimmer
transient event. Then there is the question of darkfield frames.

Astrotracer or not? Optimal focal length?
