Lyrid Meteor Shower Tags: california   landscapes   sandiego   meteor   meteorshower   sandiegocalifornia   oliverhenry   lyrid   sandiegophotographer   landscapephotographer   lyridmeteorshower   oliverhenryphotography   sandiegolandscapephotographer    "Lyrids" The best way to look at thing is up. This is especially true for those people that look up to gaze at the stars. The Lyrid Meteor Shower is a annual shower that occurs in April. April 21 and the morning of April 22 will be the peak of the showers for 2013. I heard about these showers from watching the feeds on Facebook and in the newspaper to see what things are going in the evening sky. This year's main event will be around November with a comet being visible. However until that happens this will have to do. This is a quick peak view of the Lyrids Meteor Shower from my backyard on the early morning of April 21. My camera was setup just in my backyard on a tripod and I used a intervalometer to take the photos. I took 15 second exposures with a 2 second gap between each image. This particular frame was capture in the early morning around 4am.

Some of the meteors were lost since they ended up off the page when time-shifted. Do you like this one better, or the previous non time-shifted one?

Most meteor showers originate from comets, which spew tiny chunks of ice that burn in our planet’s atmosphere. Phaethon is not a comet but rather a strange type of asteroid that astronomers sometimes call a “rock comet,” meaning that it is heated when coming close to the sun, producing dusty debris that turn into meteors in Earth’s skies. Over 100 meteors per hour was predicted to shine during peak hours, between 2 and 3 a.m. on Dec 13 &14. Waited till 2 a.m and got lucky to catch a strong one right where I was pointing my camera. Pretty exciting! For the next one I should go to a dark location to avoid the ambient light Recent Updated: 6 months ago - Created by Kingsley Swamidoss - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - Kingsley Swamidoss Geminid Meteor Shower Tags: newyork   backyard   places   longisland   nighttimephotography   geminidmeteorshower    Taken 12/14/2012 of the Geminid Meteor Shower in New York.

Tonight, Dec. 13, is the peak of the 2010 Geminid meteor shower. It's pretty cold outside in some parts of the world, but you can join NASA experts for two live Web chats and stay out of the cold. One is an afternoon chat, and one is an "up all night" Web chat. Visit this page for details on how to have your questions answered by a NASA expert -- hope to see you there, Flickr friends! www.nasa.gov/connect/chat/geminids2010.html About the Geminids Geminids are pieces of debris from an object called 3200 Phaethon. Long thought to be an asteroid, Phaethon is now classified as an extinct comet. Basically it is the rocky skeleton of a comet that lost its ice after too many close encounters with the sun. Earth runs into a stream of debris from 3200 Phaethon every year in mid-December, causing meteors to fly from the constellation Gemini. When the Geminids first appeared in the late 19th century, shortly before the U.S. Civil War, the shower was weak and attracted little attention. There was no hint that it would ever become a major display. Image credit: NASA/MSFC/B.

I was a little worried being in the city, but the night sky was plenty with stars! I pointed my camera toward Orion in hopes of capturing something with my lens. Meteors were going everywhere but where my lens was pointed and I knew by 5:45 the show was going to be over. It was 5:50 and I still had not caught anything and I gave my last 10 attempts on my camera a go. Well, low and behold on the last shot, a meteor flew across the field of view as you can see down in the lower left of this shot. Not a great shot, but at least I captured one! I was like a kid at Christmas when that last meteor streaked across the sky!

Although the image was really cool, I haven't really been able to be completely happy with it artistically. I have tried processing it several different ways and I still fall short in my satisfaction with the image. If you missed this shot from last year this is a good chance to check out a photo that took about eight hours to make. This is a composite that took 360 images taken as 30 second exposures over a three hours period of time. It then took another four, or more, hours to process. The photo was featured on Google and the Goddard NASA web site. It was also featured in a presentation by Yahoo last year of the years biggest news stories. I still am not completely happy with the image, but I think I'm getting closer. The tricks that made this shot were to be patient for three hours as the camera snapped away its 30 second exposures first, and then in post processing to sort through the 300+ images to separate the frames that held a meteor, and then to mask out all but the meteor in the shots prior to layering them onto the base image. But that wasn't the end of the process. Once the meteors were layered over the base image I had to rotate them to align with their point of origin. Over the course of three hours the Earth rotates and so the point of origin changes. To correct for this I had to use Polaris as a pivot point and then to compute the time in relationship to the position and then rotate the meteor to correspond with that position. The point of origin is close to the position of the galaxy Perseus, thus the name of the meteor shower. In all there is over 8 hours of time spent to create this image. Thank you for the thoughtful comments.

I am so tired! Went out about 1 am and went back in at about 4:30. Really disappointed by my first meteor shower photo op!! I don't know if its because we are too close to Chicago, but we did not see that many, and only caught two with the camera. Of course about 1 hour in there was a HUGE one that was out of camera range that got me all psyched about getting a really good one! Oh well!!

I took 360, 30 second exposures to get this one shot. This is an aggregate of the meteors that fell in three hours last night. Exposure - 30 seconds x 360 exposures Aperture - f/2.8 Focal Length - 11 mm ISO Speed - 2000 Basically - This shot was created by taking 360 exposures and then taking the shots that had meteor's in them out and layering them over each other and masking and merging them into the lower layer. I did each layer one at a time. This shot did not take into consideration the rotation of Earth during the three hours that I was shooting, thus the lack of a common point of origin. I have since compensated using a time/rotation adjustment and recompiled the layers into this image HERE.

Fresnido-Patz We decided to watch the meteor shower in Berkeley, at Tilden Park, and found a spot just above the fog. That layer is the fog that was covering the city. This was the first time I ever did night photography with slow exposure. I was unprepared - no tripod, hence the slope of some of the photos from this night. I was using the car's hood to stabilize the camera.

We saw some meteors that traveled half way across the sky and left a smoke trail. Unfortunately my shots were not very good because it was too humid. The sky was hazy and the lens of my camera had a film of mist on it after being out for about two hours. This is a 30 second exposure. f - 2.8. Focal length 16 mm. ISO 400.

I increased the exposure about 1 stop. This is what I ended up with The Perseids meteor shower gave a fun show last night. It was too bad I wasn’t able to stay up for the peak of the shower at 3am. I still had fun though and it gave me a chance to play with my new 10-24mm lens. I took this shot looking straight up at the Milky Way. I tried a few different settings that didn’t work at first. My first thought was to keep my ISO low and use a really long shutter, like 20-30 minutes. Then I decided I wanted to keep the stars still and only capture the movement of the meteors but the problem was that stars aren’t very bright and the meteors are even less bright. After trying a few ISO and shutter settings I settled on the settings I used here. To capture as much of the faint light from the meteors I opened my capture and cranked up my ISO. I found 43 seconds worked the best to keep the stars still but still capture enough light to see the sky with and ISO of 3200 and aperture of f/3.5. Unfortunately I didn’t capture many meteors but it was fun. Let me know what you think. View on black (stars stand out better) Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter: 43 sec.

These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface, July and August meteor alert! Showers are typically grand at this time of year. As always, the best time to watch summer meteors will begin in late July and run through about mid-August. In 2010, the waning moon will be in the sky after midnight in late July and through about the first week of August. It’ll interfere with the meteor displays at that time.so grab your chairs and sit somewhere cozy tonights entertainment is the best around and its called the meteor shower,steve Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by Steve.D.Hammond. - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - Steve.D.Hammond.

The meteors from this shower can be seen in mid-December and usually peak around 12–14 of the month. The Geminid shower is thought to be intensifying every year and recent showers have seen 120–160 meteors per hour under optimal conditions. The Geminids were first observed only 150 years ago, much more recently than other showers such as the Perseids and Leonids. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia We visited the Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope visitors Centre this afternoon and it appears that they were tracking the meteor shower. Not quite sure what the graph is saying but I'm sure it means something to the astronomers! Taken at 3.31pm gmt.

They look similar, but they show different meteor "streaks." This composite, false-color image shows the Orionids meteor shower, as seen in the skies over Huntsville, Ala. in late October, 2009. The Earth is currently passing through a stream of debris from Halley's Comet, lighting up the night sky with the "fireworks" of the annual Orionids meteor shower. Flakes of comet dust hitting the atmosphere are producing dozens of meteors per hour. Normally this shower gives a modest display of 10 to 20 meteors per hour, but the past few years have been more lively than usual. The Orionids appear around this time each year as Eath orbits through an area of space littered with debris from the ancient comet. The Orionids occur around October 21 and are named after their radiant, which is located near the constellation Orion. Per Wikipedia, the "radiant" of a meteor shower is the point in the sky from which -- to a planetary observer -- meteors appear to originate.

In rural areas, the meteors will be visible by 9 p.m (EDT). The main attraction begins around midnight .Before dawn, dozens of meteors are expected to be streaming across the sky continuously. According to NASA, this is the peak meteor shower of the year. The Geminids are considered rare because they are not remnants of comets. Unlike most meteor showers, the Geminids stem originally from a near-Earth-object named 3200 Phaethon. Happy viewing. I'll keep silent, thinking about the pearl dust of Cygnus, the arrow of Hercules, the hands of Cassiopeia never caressed by the Dolphin, and leaving the unknown after me ground be the fireballs.
