The advantages of photography

You may ask, why use a camera to record the event activities? in addition to the above event photos have extremely high appreciation value, as long as they meet appropriate related records, your photos can help meteor shower astronomers to high-precision calculation the meteoroid belt track, but also to record the Meteor colors, haunted places, photometric, and so on, these photos of meteoroid provide very valuable information.

In addition, photographic observation can record more than Visual observation of meteors.

Equipment overall review

Many people have a we commonly known as the silly claw machine, which is fully automatic camera, they naturally have to shoot with a fool machine Meteor.

However, generally silly claw machine is not able to take a Meteor's heroic, because these cameras are not used for long-exposure, therefore you cannot shadow the Meteor under moment quickly.

Now, let us look at the shooting star the desired device.

Manual camera

First, most important is a mechanical camera B shutter and the shutter can operate without batteries, long exposure can quickly drain the battery, it is not economical, but the event in photography during the stop, more heavy losses.

If the camera itself has a battery, is immediately taken out, this is for any camera effects of light-emitting element.

In order to cope with the camera shutter using B, a shutter rope is rare.

Tripod

Secondly, we want a fixed tripod for the camera in the saphenous-particle, long exposure shooting out of the images below will vacillating.

And we want to ensure that the camera as far as possible, even in places with strong wind down or vibration.

Film

As regards the principle of selection of film is selected the most rapid and the smallest particles of film.

Lower-speed film 400 ISO noise is acceptable, because when we called shadow falling by more than 800 ISO speed.

If you have experience Photographing astronomical photographs, perhaps a little strange, that use speed 800 is a bit on the high side, but as long as the careful thought, based on General Meteor time is too short (usually one to two seconds), for two seconds or more Meteor is a rare, therefore we need to quickly fill up light.

Whether you use the film, to buy the number of sheets to 36, and bought a barrel, it is prepared, avoid things out suddenly, such as Meteor too much, the camera suddenly malfunctions and other issues, it is never too late to not cut.

In addition, if shooting environment is indeed enough black, readers can be assured with higher speed film, such as ISO 1600 and 3200.

Lens

Because we are not a professional photographer, so you don't have to worry about no telephoto lens, 50 mm standard lens to photograph Meteors and ease.

If the instrument is sufficient, the suggested number with a wide angle of 28 mm lens, such as, as well as a long lens as 100 mm or more. If this is the zoom lens so it better.
