2 Nights Comprised in One Epic Scene to Reveal the Show of Geminids Meteor Shower 2023
Alqueva´s Dark Sky Reserve | By Year: 2024 | Meteors | Milky Way & Infrared | Panoramic & Wide Views
The image is the result of a fair amount of work while star aligning and combining 10 folders of hundreds of Gigabytes from different cameras that I setup for 2 consecutive nights, during Geminids meteor shower 2023. I caught more than 100 meteors in total from the brightest ones, to the faintest streaks. The composite shows the Radiant located in Gemini constellation, near the blueish star Castor, the single point in the sky where all meteors seems to appear due to the perspective. The background is a panoramic image made of single untracked shots where a starry sky shows the path of Winter Milky Way, full of beautiful bright constellations and nebulae, shining in reddish hues from Hydrogen emission. At left, is one of my students enjoying the starry sky near Alqueva lake while all the sky is fulfilled by meteors. The image was captured from Dark Sky® Alqueva, in Portugal. I have more images to share with different projections, as well as a VR360 scene. So stay tuned and don’t forget to subscribe my newsletter in the right top corner of the Menu. Hope you enjoy it!
PT: A imagem é o resultado de muito trabalho e que envolveu o alinhamento de estrelas e combinação de 10 pastas de centenas de Gigabites, proveniente de diferentes câmaras que configurei para registarem o céu por 2 noites consecutivas, durante a chuva de meteoros Geminídeas de 2023. Captei mais de 100 meteoros no total, desde os mais brilhantes até aos mais ténues e subtis. A composição mostra assim o Radiante localizado na constelação de Gémeos, próximo da estrela azulada Castor, o ponto singular no céu de onde todos os meteoros aparentam radiar por uma questão de perspectiva. O céu estrelado em pano de fundo, é resultado de um panorama de disparos únicos e sem seguimento e mostra o caminho da Via Láctea de Inverno, repleta de lindas constelações brilhantes e nebulosas avermelhadas devido à emissão de hidrogénio, enquanto todo o céu é preenchido por meteoros. À esquerda, está uma das minhas alunas de um workshop privado a apreciar o céu estrelado perto do lago Alqueva. A imagem foi captada no Dark Sky® Alqueva, em Portugal. Tenho mais imagens para compartilhar com diferentes projeções, além de um cenário em VR360. Assim fiquem atentos e não se esqueçam de assinar a minha newsletter no canto superior direito do Menu. Espero que gostem!
