dawsonjm Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I went out last night, managed to capture a couple of meteors. Amazing how hard it is to actually get a photo of one. I used my K20D with a Kiron 24mm f2.0. 30 second exposures, iso 400 and 800.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_z. Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 <p>Nice, John! I didn't even get my camera out. I sat outside, but didn't see any. I'm too close to the city lights to see stars like you have in your shots.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 <p>You can be pretty darned close to the city and see the Perseid shower. But not when it's cloudy and rainy. This year is a "fail" in the Boston area.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd_phillips3 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 <p>Nice! I had my K5 set in the back yard for intervals one night for 3 hours of 15 sec exposures and the next night for 3 hours of 30 second exposures and I didn't catch any! I definitely saw some meteors so don't know if I did something wrong.. Shot at 15mm.. Just a bunch of these.. :-)<br> <img src="http://www.tmphillips.com/g3/var/resizes/share2/IMGP7929DGRS.JPG?m=1344875765" alt="" width="531" height="800" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB.Net Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 <p>Very nice! I got a few early ones the prior weekend but I was in the city last weekend shooting a wedding and couldn't even try.<br> Todd you should try stacking those images for some trails! I use ImageStacker which has a limited trial version that will only give you a low-res image from 10 source images. But when I tried it that was enough to convince me to pay the <em>very</em> reasonable price of $17 for the full application. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawsonjm Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 <p>A question for Todd. What was the iso setting for your photo? It looks really clean compared to my shots with the K20D. Also, what is that really bright thing in the shot? I didn't see any stars that looked like that.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
