Shooting Star.

[haqeel]

ive always wanted to capture a shooting star.
finally, i managed to capture it in an attempt of opening my shutter to 500+ or 700+ seconds,
if i remember.

cropped it.
this was taken at an open field in between sembawang and yishun.

Cheers!

Are you using tracking mount?

Mind telling me the location? I stay in sembawang and wanna try

PS, how do you know if there is shooting star that particular day?

 

[diplodocus]

yes I am curious too, why after about 10 minutes of exposure do we not see star trails of all the stars? What kind of tracking mount are you using?

 

[haqeel]

actually i myself wonder why wasnt there star trails eventhough i shot it at such a long exposure. :think:

nope, i didnt use a tracking mount.
it was just my luck that night.

its in between sembawang and yishun.
its a bigg open field just before the yishun emerald condo.

Nice. Interesting that there's no star trails. Last time I did 380 sec can see star trail already.

Hi,
Hmm... this doesn't look like normal stars field image and meteor here. The stars look more like noise to me and the meteor don't really look like what a meteor should look. :think:

Which lens, ISO and aperture setting you use?? And may be a 100% crop on the meteor??

Have a nice day.

Noise or no noise, it's looks great!!!:thumbsup:

 

[haqeel]

i shot it at iso 100. aperture im im not wrong its f8 or f11. lens; kitlens at 18mm.
yeap i cropped it. but i was sure its a shooting star cos i shot it the first time,
no shooting star, second shot, same placement and settings, the shooting star appeared.

thanks. glad yall like it

Based on EXIF data of the image, ISO 100, 18mm, F18, 783 seconds (>13 minutes).
I agree with Weixing, the stars look like hot spots.
Expose for minutes without tracking and no startrails, that is against the physics law
(The Earth stop rotation? :think

I think the shooting star was a bright one.

 

[BenAWJ]

Any PP done?

 

[haqeel]

i guess so? cos i switched off my long exp reduction thingy. :think:
i only adjusted the colour balance as it was too blueish.

Hi,
Did you perfrom any leveling, curves, brightness and constrast adjustment??

Anyway, that "shooting star" most probably is not a "shooting star" as it doesn't look like a typical shooting star, so, IMHO, I think that "shooting star" might actually be a cosmic ray hitting your dslr sensor. :think:

Have a nice day.

[haqeel]
