lukebl Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I stayed up till about mignight last night to watch the Persieds, and was pretty disappointed. Only saw, maybe, 4-5 per hour, although there was a fair bit of high cloud. There was one spectacular one, though. Low, beneath Ursa major and maybe magnitude -4. Unfortunately, the camera was pointing the other way. I decided to risk the threat of thunderstorms and left the camera out all night. I captured a few. Here's the best one. About 23:45UT. Canon 700d, 30 seconds, ISO 1600, Samyang 8mm f/3.5. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Same here had camera running for hours a couple of nights ago, bits of passing cloud and only caught one little one. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooth_dr Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Nice capture. I did the same, but came out to find the battery pack had exhausted after 7 exposures, despite being 3 out of 4 lights on it. I dont think I've ever had any real success with meteor capture using a DLSR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor N Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Nice image. I thought it was just me. Also out there a couple of hours and underwhelmed is a fair description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
