So I really want to try and capture some shots tonight of the meteor shower and am stuck on which lens to use.

I have a 60D with:

Kit EFS 18-135mm F 3.5-5.6

EF 70-300mm F 4-5.6

EF 40mm F 2.8

The only other time I shot night photography was with the 70-300mm as I didn't have the 40mm at the time. (on my phone so I cant link a picture) The results came out fine.

Now that I have the 40mm, would that be the best bet to use since it has a lower fstop as well as being a prime lens?

EDIT: I also plan on doing a short time lapse, would the 40mm be the best for that as well?

I know that framing will vary depending on which lens range I end up using, I'm just trying to figure out which lens would offer the best quality image.

Thanks in advance!
