Astrophoto: Perseids Collage – 08/12/24

A collage with 8 meteors from the Perseid meteor shower on August 12, 2024.

This collage is the result of a wonderful evening spent with my kids under a dark sky. It was also my first attempt at capturing a meteor shower.

Chilling and enjoying the Perseids.

We spent about 1.5 hours in the field, making ourselves comfortable. During that time, the mirrorless camera was running, taking 45 photos with 60-second exposure each. It was a very classic setup, using hand controllers without any PC or Raspberry Pi involved.

A very simple setup. HEQ5pro and EOS R with the legacy OM 24mm lens.

As on many occasions before, I used one of my legacy lenses. This time, it was the Olympus Zuiko OM 24mm again.
