Perseids Meteor Shower
Details
This is a Monday night to Tuesday morning event!
This year's Perseids meteor shower peaks during the night from August 11 to 12, best viewing hours are always in the early morning on the 12th. This year, we will have an almost full moon after 9 pm, but the meteors are bright. Exclude the moon from your composition.
Notice that the nights before (better) and after might work as well.
For the photo event, we will discuss best approaches and compositions, camera settings and a few post processing tips.
Super wide angle and fast lenses are best for this, you will shoot this at high ISO and wide open, wider is better. The Sony 14 mm f/1.8 is perfect for this, but a host of f/2.8 wide lenses is available for all mounts. Visit my Patreon channel for lens recommendations, in case you don't have one yet.
Wear comfortable clothing in layers, bring bug spray, fluids and a snack, dinner was 6 hours ago.
If you go out by yourself, find a location that is dark looking north-east, preferably with Polaris, the north star in your composition.
