[photo-3d] Night shots with Realist?

I've been concentrating mostly on my Realist and my point-and-shoot twin 
rig for the past year or so.  I use Kodachrome 64 in both.  I've been able 
to get some beautiful night shots with the twin rig, handheld, using the 64 
speed film.  I know it must be possible to get these with the Realist also, 
because I'm using the same film.  However, I have no idea how to set 
shutter speed and aperture for these, and it's generally too dark to use a 
light meter effectively.

Anybody got any good recipes for hand-held night shots?  I'm assuming the 
shutter must be about 1/30 sec. or faster, since the shots don't show any 
signs of shake, etc.  (I do steady my hands on a wall when possible, but 
it's not always possible.)

Thanks,

-pd
