Subject: [Leica] metering hot air balloons at dusk

I'm headed up to Northern California where there will be a hot air balloon event
in the evening where they will rise on tethers of various lengths. It should be
striking.

But I'm a bit worried about how to meter it. I'll be shooting with my R8 and
M6-TTL. Shooting Porta 400VC and the new super version. Taking a tripod.

But I'm not sure how to meter these puppies - esp with the sky which may occupy
a goodly chunk of the frame.

I'm sure this is trival and old-hat to  you gods of photography but in case
someone will stoop to suggest something useful I'd be greatful for an
understanding of the problems involved.
