Bemerkungen | My image was taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III camera with Olympus M.Zuiko 12 mm lens, mounted on a tripod in my backyard facing north toward my house. Olympus' live composite feature slowly build a composite image (in camera) of 2.5 second exposures, only registering changes to each pixel brightness, building a nice star trail image without overexposing the overall frame. A total of 1,441 frames were taken, spanning 60 minutes from 22:14 to 23:14 CDT. I monitored the exposure, but not see the meteor trail with my eyes. However, I know it happened shortly after 22:30 because that was when I first noticed the meteor had been recorded by the composite on the camera's LCD screen. My estimated time of 22:34 is given to match the video recordings of this same event, which I estimate to be more accurate than the other visual estimates. Brightness can only register so much on a camera sensor; I conservatively set it at brighter than Venus but not nearly as bright as the Moon. |
