    Thanks for this, thinking of chasing the Perseids this weekend, have a couple 'bortle 2' spots nearby so I may give it a shot. Have shot Milky's but not meteors.

    Mallory, a really well-done video. A couple of points on what I do. After I achieve focus, I put gaffers tape on my focus ring so I don't knock it out of focus during the night. I also don't aim for the radiant point but instead, I aim about 45-90 degrees away from the radiant point. I see more meteors in that area than the radiant.

    • @mallorydavisphotography
      @mallorydavisphotography  8 місяців тому

      Great suggestion! I like the thought of giving yourself some room to allow the radiant to work thru your frame! Happy shooting, there’s another smaller one in a few days i think!

      Here in the UK we definitely need lens warmers. If you are away from a power source, a good tip is to use a hand warmer (the type you 'charge up' by boiling in water for a few minutes') They stay warm enough for several hours.

    Mallory, were you using a star tracker when shooting the meteors? If not, do you move the camera to follow the radiant point of the showers? When you input the camera and lens info into PhotoPills, is that the maximum exposure length to not get star trails? Thanks, Charlie S.

    • @user-jm9iw6mm9o
      @user-jm9iw6mm9o 2 місяці тому

      Yep photo pills shows you the amount of exposure time you can have before stars start trialing based on your camera and lens info
