Hot take: Letting my brother handle the camera during meteor showers saved our yearly trip.

Our family camping trip always had tension because my brother and I never saw eye to eye. Last year, I handed him the DSLR and told him to capture the Perseids while I adjusted the tripod. We used a basic intervalometer and a red headlamp to not ruin our night vision. He got super focused on getting the timing right for each streak of light. Now he's the one reminding everyone about peak shower dates and checking cloud forecasts. It turned a chore into a shared project that we both look forward to. The photos he took are blurry sometimes, but they're our blurry photos. Honestly, it's the best way I've found to bond over the stars without any arguments.
