For Those Who Missed the Show

Hi All,

This is the Photograph of Geminid Meteor by Sagar Godambe taken from Vangani on the night of 13-14th December.

You can see faint vertical steak of meteor on right side of bright star in the field. Due to heavy light pollution sky is fogged and meteor appears faint steak.


You might think what’s great in posting photo of faint steak which is barely visible, and then just try to figure out efforts required for capturing one.

1. Spending Nights out on Odd Days and traveling to out station to get as much as possible clear sky.
2. Meteor falling rate is very low around 1 meteor per 5 mins.
3. Out of 360 of Sky camera can capture only 50 degrees at times.
4. Though during Meteor Shower radiant of meteor is from particular point in sky but meteor may fall any where in whole sky. So targeting sky for photo and getting meteor in frame is all left to your luck.
5. And most important is "YOUR PATIENCE and PERSISTANCE and NEVER QUITE ATTITUDE" even after many repeated failures in Capturing Meteors on Frame.

HATS OF TO SAGAR..
