On August 12th, stargazers are in for a treat as the annual Perseids meteor shower promises a high number of shooting stars. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to capture these celestial wonders with your camera or smartphone.
For those with DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, the recommended method involves mounting your device on a tripod, aiming it roughly towards the constellation Perseus or about 30°–40° above the northeastern horizon, and using manual mode to control settings such as aperture, ISO, and exposure time. The "500 Rule" is applied to avoid star trailing, and a remote shutter release or intervalometer is used to take continuous shots. Including foreground or celestial objects in the composition can also enhance the image.
For smartphone users, similar principles apply but are limited by hardware. A tripod or stable surface is essential for steadiness, while a phone app that supports manual or "pro" mode is necessary to set exposure times, ISO, and focus to infinity. Composing with a wide-angle view towards the Perseus area and keeping the camera still during long exposures are crucial.
Patience is key, as meteors are unpredictable, and taking many long-exposure shots increases your chance to capture a brilliant streak.
Unfortunately, the article does not provide further photography tips for the Perseids beyond capturing them with a camera or smartphone.
In a separate announcement, Microsoft has confirmed that it will be ending support for Windows 10 after ten years. This means that the aging software will no longer be available, marking the end of an era for many users.
Despite rumours, the article does not mention the term "Quishing" in relation to digital scanning, and it does not recommend the use of QR codes for verification before scanning.
So, mark your calendars for August 12th, gear up your cameras or smartphones, and prepare for an unforgettable night under the stars. And while you're at it, start planning for a new operating system, as Windows 10 will soon be a thing of the past.
