Looking forward to trying to spot the Quadrantids Meteor Shower

On the 3rd or 4th of January 2016, I will be trying to observe the Quadrantids Meteor Shower from my parents back paddock on both nights. I decided to mow around the back paddock so i will not be in patches of thistles this time (real fun).  

Though i might not be able to see the Quadrantids Meteor Shower over Bathurst, As it is better observed in the Northern hemisphere, but i will still try anyway because i can not expect to get any meteor photos if I don't put any effort.

I did have fun taking photos of the Geminids meteor shower on the 13th-14th of December, so I think I have a bit of a idea what settings to use, though there are always room to experiment with the settings.

More information can be found here and here.

(note I am an Amateur astronomy photographer and i don't have much experience in Astronomy photography, I would go to other photographers first for advice on taking Astronomy photography.)

Anyway i will have fun photographing the stars on the 3rd and 4th of January 2015 and if i get any meteors that will make it all the more better.
