Geminid Meteor Shower
發表於 : 2010-12-26, 01:53Out of 500 Raw files (about 14GB), I managed to capture three Geminids from them. Since I only have a Panasonic LX3 (I took one night of images with this but I haven't dug out the raw files yet), I borrowed a Canon 550D from my friend. After a couple of trial and errors, I discovered ISO6400 and 10s exposure was the best combo for my slightly light-polluted sky using the 17-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kitlens.
This single frame was subtracted by bias and dark frames using Deep Sky Stacker. All of the photos were subtracted in DSS except mentioned otherwise.
I used the RGB alignment function in DSS and ended with this almost black and white photo. What I did was aligning the RGB Gaussian distributions into one. Did I do the right thing?
I used the curve preset in Photoshop to produce this negative photo.
I processed the raw of this image in MaximDL (subtraction of bias and dark frames) and did a level adjustment. I went on with more level adjustment in Photoshop afterwards. I am most happy with this frame. The next thing I gonna do is to enhance the background by stacking it with a nine frames stack of the same background which is ready. Any comment on how I could improve further?
A bright Geminid fireball flew out of the frame. How I wish I had a wide-angle lens.
The meteor in this image is harder to see but still quite recognizable if you look hard enough. It's roughly at the bottom 1/3 line.
Thanks for looking and your comment is most appreciated.

若是有个广角镜，我的战利品至少能多4倍。。。很多流星都是在我的视角范围外。。。有个鱼眼就大获全胜，不过边缘成像素质就不知道如何。
