Photograph the Perseus Meteor Shower Tips
If your camera can't cover the whole sky, which direction should choose? Generally speaking meteor would appear in any part of the sky. You want to photograph that, the most part depends on luck.
The meteor shower appears regularly, so there is indeed the area that meteor shower emerges frequently. In general, it is easy to see clear meteor shower within 30-70 degree area of skyline. Moreover, the part of the sky which is 30-40 degree far from the radiant of meteor shower is also the place where could see many meteor showers. Take all the conditions in to consideration and prepare to find a view. In the real observation, we can find that there are bright meteors near the horizon line, and some of the bright meteors will appear in the area where is outside 100 degree of the radiant of meteor shower.
1. Do we need the telescope when we observe the meteor shower?
That is a bigger mistake! We just need to use our eyes to see it. The watching scale of the telescope is too small. If you see a meteor streaking across the sky, well, I just want to say your RP is pretty good.
The best way to see the meteor shower is lay down because you must raise your head so can you see it. That would be perfect if there is a sleeping bag or chair. Pay attention to keep warm. Dawn is cold.
Attention; go to the dark place making your eyes adapt the darkness before observation. Be patience. Don't play phone while you are observation, because you might see nothing!
2. Guide of the Hong Kong Astronomical Society to observation and photography
Pay attention to the personal safety. Don't go to the isolated place alone. Tell your family where you go.
Dawn is really cold. Carry enough clothes.
Carry the red light torch in case of looking for stuff. The light will let your pupil shrink and will influence watching.
Phone should use the hand-free device foundation. Keep the sensibility of eyes.
Find a place which is far from city or streetlight.
Don't go to the place where snake, insects and ants like to go.
The place shouldn't be the soil with soft earth, dock, dam, cliff or roof.
If the place is close to river, sea, you must pay attention to the time and scale of falling tide.
If you lay in the grass or chair, remember to use carpet, sleeping bag to keep warm.
The place should be wide.
Spend thirty minutes to make your eyes adapt the darkness, so you can see more meteors.
Don't need to use the telescope; just use your eyes. The scale that telescope could see is limited and it will reduce the chance of seeing the meteors.
The cold weather will cause the dew and make the shot frost.
Tips: carry enough battery because it's a long time and cold process. After photographing, you can use the edit pictures to put the pictures together by collage making software.
