Eta-Aquarids and Planets<\/p><\/div>\n

The annual meteor shower Eta-Aquarids<\/a> is just in progress and I was lucky to observe the maximum at San Pedro de Atacama<\/a>, Chile. Luckily, the weather is very favorable and Moon doesn’t shine when radiant rises, so I took the chance to capture this composite image. Foreground was taken on May 3rd while meteors were taken by time-lapse wide-angle photography for 11 days (from 28 April to 8 May). The view of the shower caused by Halley’s comet<\/a> was very nicely supplemented by a wonderful planetary parade in the Zodiacal Light<\/a>. Foreground was captured on Canon Ra, Samyang 24mm, f2.8, ISO 10000, a panorama of single 15s exposures from a tripod. Meteors were taken on 2 cameras Canon 6D (modified) and 12mm, f2.8, ISO 8000, and registered to the background image. Panorama contains 94 meteors in total. The brightest ones also with persistent trains (which lasted always around 5 minutes). I would like to acknowledge Josef Kujal of the Astronomy Society of Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9<\/a> for his deep support of the meteors photography.<\/p>\n
