10 Things: How to Photograph a Meteor Shower

Taking photographs of a meteor shower can be an exercise in patience as meteors streak across the sky quickly and unannounced, but with these tips – and some good fortune – you might be rewarded with a great photo.

These tips are meant for a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but some point-and-shoot cameras with manual controls could be used as well.

1. The Photo Op: Perseids Meteors

The Perseids are dusty remnants of comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle.

Earth passes through the comet’s invisible, multi-billion mile trail of tiny debris each year around August, creating a meteor shower of so-called “shooting stars” as the particles are vaporized in our atmosphere.

Perseid meteors already are streaking across the sky. This year's shower peaks on a moonless summer night -from 4 pm on the 12th until 4 am on the 13th Eastern Daylight Time.

Read more on the Perseids ›

2. Get away from city lights and find a place with dark skies.

Too much light and it will be hard for your eyes to see fainter meteors, plus your image will get flooded with the glow of light. Turning down the brightness of the camera’s LCD screen will help keep your eyes adjusted to the dark. The peak of the 2018 Perseid meteor shower occurs just after the new moon, meaning a thin crescent will set long before the best viewing hours, leaving hopeful sky watchers with a moonlight-free sky!

3. Use a tripod.

Meteor photography requires long exposures, and even the steadiest of hands can’t hold a camera still enough for a clear shot. Heavier tripods help reduce shaking caused by wind and footsteps, but even a lightweight tripod will do. You can always place sandbags against the feet of the tripod to add weight and stability. If you don’t have a tripod, you might be able to prop your camera on or up against something around you, but be sure to secure your camera.

4. Use a wide-angle lens.

A wide-angle lens will capture more of the sky and give you a greater chance of capturing a meteor in your shot, while a zoom lens captures a smaller area of the sky. The odds of a meteor streaking past that small patch are lower.

5. Use a shutter release cable or the camera’s built-in timer.

Long exposures are not just for meteors. In this shot taken at Joshua Tree National Park, a hiker's headlamp leaves a trail of light along a twilight path. Credit: National Park Service / Hannah Schwalbe

A tripod does a great job of reducing most of the shaking your camera experiences, but even the act of pressing the shutter button can blur your extended exposure. Using the self-timer gives you several seconds for any shaking from pressing the shutter button to stop before the shutter is released. A shutter release cable (without a self-timer) eliminates the need to touch the camera at all. And if your camera has wifi capabilities, you might be able to activate the shutter from a mobile device.

6. Manually focus your lens.

At night, autofocus will struggle to find something on which to focus. Setting your focus to infinity will get you close, but chances are you’ll have to take some test images and do some fine tuning. With your camera on a tripod, take a test image lasting a few seconds, then use the camera’s screen to review the image. Zoom in to a star to see how sharp your focus is. If the stars look like fuzzy blobs, make tiny adjustments to the focus and take another test image.

Repeat until you are happy with the result.

If your camera has a zoomable electronic viewfinder or live view option, you might be able to zoom to a star and focus without having to take a test image.

7. Aim your camera.

The Perseids appear to radiate from the constellation Perseus, visible in the northern sky soon after sunset this time of year.

Even though we don’t know when or where a single meteor will appear, we do know the general area from which they’ll originate.

Meteor showers get their name based on the point in the sky from which they appear to radiate. In the case of the Perseids, during their peak, they appear to come from the direction of the constellation Perseus in the northern sky.

8. Calculate your exposure time.

In this 20-second exposure, a meteor lights up the sky over the top of a mountain ridge near Park City, Utah. Even though this image was captured during the annual Perseid meteor shower, this "shooting star" is probably not one of the Perseid meteors, which originate from material left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle. Instead, it's likely one of the many bits of rock and dust that randomly fall into the atmosphere on any given night. Credit: NASA/Bill Dunford

As Earth rotates, the stars in the sky appear to move, and if your shutter is open long enough, you might capture some of that movement. If you want to avoid apparent star movement, you can follow the 500 Rule. Take 500 and divide it by the length in millimeters of your lens. The resulting number is the length of time in seconds that you can keep your shutter open before seeing star trails. For example, if you’re using a 20 mm lens, 25 seconds (500 divided by 20) is the longest you can set your exposure time before star trails start to show up in your images.

9. Experiment!

In this 30 second exposure photo, hikers find their way to the top of Spruce Knob in West Virginia to view the annual Perseids meteor shower, Friday, August 12, 2016. Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls

Once you know the maximum exposure time, you can set your shutter priority to that length and let the camera calculate other settings for your first image. Depending on how the image turns out, you can manually adjust aperture (set it to a lower number if the image is too dark) and ISO (set it to a higher number if the image is too dark) to improve your next images. Changing only one setting at a time will give you a better understanding of how those changes affect your image.

10. Enjoy the show.

With your camera settings adjusted, capturing that perfect photo is just a matter of time and luck. The highest rate of meteors visible per hour is in the hours after midnight and before dawn. Set up your camera next to a lounge chair or a blanket to witness the wonder of a meteor shower for yourself – and, with any luck, you’ll take home some envy-inducing shots, too!

Get online in those hard-to-reach places with handy Wi-Fi range extender [Review]

The Rock Space AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Repeater is just right for anyone working or taking classes at home and struggling with a weak Wi-Fi signal. Plug this accessory into any wall socket and it’ll expand your wireless network’s usable area. It offers both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, it supports one-button setup with WPS, and you can connect to it via Ethernet.

I tested this Wi-Fi range extender in my own home, and share how well it stands up to daily use.

Rock Space AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Repeater review

Wi-Fi is the best thing to happen to mobile computing ever. But it has limitations. Get too far from your hotspot and you lose the connection. For me, this happens on my patio. I step outside and signal strength drops, and with it connection speed.

Put the Rock Space AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Repeater somewhere near a “dead” spot in your wireless network and it’ll fill in the gap.

It connects to your existing Wi-Fi network and then creates its own. But be aware, this is not a mesh router. This hotspot has its own SSID and passwords, and your Mac, iPad etc. won’t always jump between this and your regular hotspot seamlessly.

Hardware

Rock Space’s Wi-Fi range extender is a relatively small bit of kit, which is good as it’ll be installed more or less permanently on a wall socket. The casing is 1.9 inches thick, 3.1 inches tall and 3.0 inches wide. It comes in basic black, making it easy to hide behind a chair.

There are two power prongs built right into the back. There are no cables to fuss with. Just plug it in.

A pair of external antenna help expand the range of this hotspot. Rock Space says it’s good for about 1292 sq.ft. — about the size of a small house.

On the bottom is an Ethernet port, giving you the option of a wired connection between the Wi-Fi Repeater and your home hotspot. This isn’t necessary, but might be useful for some.

Setup

For most people, setting up this accessory will be as simple as pressing the WPS button on their regular hotspot, then pressing the WPS button on this network add-on. In my tests, this worked as expected.

The Rock Space AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Repeater connected to my hotspot, then created alternative network connections for my SSIDs with “_EXT” added.

Or you can go to re.rockspace.local to do a manual setup. Even if you use the WPS method, you still might want to go to this configuration screen to rename the SSIDs to anything you want.

This Wi-Fi range extender can be manually configured, if you want. Screenshot: Ed Hardy/Cult of Mac

Again, this isn’t a mesh router. It won‘t connect seamlessly to your network. It’ll be up to you — or your iPhone, iPad or Mac — to switch between your primary hotspot and this secondary one to find the best connection speed as you mover around your home.

Rock Space AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Repeater performance

Keep in mind, if you have poor Wi-Fi in your office, you don’t put this range extender in your office. It connects to your home wireless network too, and needs a solid signal. Put it somewhere between your home hotspot and the area you want to improve networking performance.

I have the WiFi Repeater 37 feet from my home hotspot, which is close to the maximum range. At this distance, for me the connection betwixt the two networking devices is between 55% and 65%. Drop much below 50% and the Rock Space device won‘t be able to provide reliable service.

Tests with an iPhone 11 and an iPad Pro found that I get the full connection speed of my home hotspot another 20 feet past that, through a brick wall. It’s exactly what I need to attend Zoom meetings from the patio. Especially as attempts to connect directly to my primary hotspot from that same location result only in suggestions from the iPhone that I move closer and try again.

Of course, multiple people can connect at once. And Rock Space promises up to 300Mbps over a 2.4GHz connection, and up to 867Mbps for a 5GHz one.

Simply plug in the Rock Space Wi-Fi Repeater. No cables needed. Photo: Ed Hardy/Cult of Mac

Rock Space AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Repeater final thoughts

Don’t put up with Wi-Fi dead spots. Reconfigure your network to get wireless networking where you need it. And a simple solution is the Rock Space AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Repeater. It supports one-button setup, or a manual configuration for people who want more control. And performance is quite good.

Pricing

This Rock Space product is $47.99 on Amazon. There are cheaper options available. But any that cost a lot less won‘t offer the combined 1200 Mbps throughput. And range is often less, too.

Buy from: Amazon

Looking for something for use on the go? Consider the RAVpower FileHub Travel Router. It’s also a Wi-Fi repeater/range extender, with additional features too.

All around Wi-Fi support by Rockspace Extender at professional colleges.

A professional degree college would always come around the top of the list of institutions that would require an around the clock and premises internet support. This facility allows students studying in the institution better access to information, better learning and incorporates futurism. This facility though comes at a huge price. Due to a large number of classrooms present in the college and about 40 students in each class, it wouldn’t sound affordable to go around and set up a Wi-Fi router in each class. That would increase expenditure a whole lot more. This is where Wi-Fi extenders come in. A mere single wireless router put up in the hallway along with extenders places in individual close by classes would suffice around four classes and thereby cut down a lot of costs. The number of extenders to be placed in each classroom would depend on the number of students present in each class as well as the number of simultaneous connections supported by the extender. The best and most minimalistic product fit for this scenario would be the rockspace wifi extender.

 This extender has the most stable signal boosts with a totaling speed of 1145 Mbps divided between the two 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels. It has an automatic switch that helps it switch from and to channels whenever you are near to or far away from the point to guarantee the best coverage and optimum speeds wherever in the range you may be. It has full 360-degree coverage and covers an area of about a bit more than 1200 square feet which would be a lot more than a single classroom. All you would be required to do to set it up would be to either use an ethernet cable to connect it to a device and then go ahead and set it up using the website UI or you could also use the WPS button present on both the router and the extender at the same time to set them up automatically. You could always refer to the rockspace wifi extender manual for any questions or troubleshooting procedures. If you ever faced a problem you will be able to reset the extender back to factory settings and reprogram it to set it up with the same or other router spots on your college premises. The device is also highly compatible with a compatibility range spreading across about 98 percent of wireless router products available in the market. This makes them worry about the compatibility a thing of the past. The LED present on the device does a great job in finding the best place to set up your device as the blue light shows good connection while the red and black ones show the presence of a weak connection or am the absence of connection respectively. It can also support up to 20 simultaneous connections which means it would only require about 2 of these in a class of 40.

Rockspace wifi extender review

There is a reason why the rock space wifi extender is on the fourth position on the Amazon best selling extenders list. It is affordable, compact and quite plainly and best buy for uses such as the professional college scenario mentioned earlier. It has quite an outgoing noticeable design and provides uninterrupted connections by switching back and forth from channels to give you the best speeds. It also only weighs about 6.1 ounces which makes it really light. It is also a plug and play device that makes it void of the problems related to wired extenders which require adapters and wires among other things. An easy setup and management system makes It more appealing. Sitting at its spot, connected to the main router it will provide you with the best connection that wouldn’t have experienced with the main router itself.  A good buy for a professional college or any other educational institution looking to fortify their infrastructure with the addition of internet support without increasing the expenditure to the point of no return. It is also quite the device for casual uses at homes and offices and small business spaces. An overall satisfying Wireless network extender that deserves a shot.

What is a wifi repeater?

The wifi repeater, also called wifi amplifier, is an accessory that increases the signal of a wireless connection. Indeed, this one repeats around him the wifi exposure of the Internet box or the router in order to extend and get better the network.It usually takes the form of a small box and plugs it into a wall outlet.
