| Due to bad weather forecasts I decided to travel with Carl Johannink, Romke Schievink and Rita Verhoef to a clear spot. After a long journey we ended up in a little village called Britzingen, Germany. It lies roughly between the cities of Freiburg and Muhlheim in the Black Forrest Mountains. There, on a piece of cultivated land, we observed the Perseids during the night of 11/12 august 2004. Carl, Rita and I conducted visual observations. However, I had three camera’s with me: a Canon EOS 10D with a Zenitar 2.8/16 mm lens (and a Timer Controller TC 80N3), A Canon T70 with commando back and a 1.8/50 mm standard lens and a T70 with commando back and a 2.8/15 mm fish eye lens. These camera’s worked fully automatic, so I could observe the Perseids without to many stops. Further, Romke used a video-intensifier system to capture the weak Perseids. The Perseids put up a nice show. First a peak in activity with many weak Perseids (as predicted by Esko Lyytinen). After that many bright Perseids starts to appear, more than usual during a peak of the Perseid meteor stream. With the Zenitar 2.8/16 mm I captured 31 meteors on photo. A composition is shown here in this gallery. |
