Preparation for shooting half a month in advance

Li Dezheng told the reporter late night that from the simulation observation location, design poster, preparation equipment, to field verification, his preparations began half a month ago.

Li Dezheng is an observation assistant from the Shenzhen Observatory. In junior high school, he saw the shocking astrological pictures in astronomical magazines in the library, which made him yearn for astronomical photography. When he was in college, Li Dezheng really embarked on the road of astronomical photography. With his love for photography and astronomy, he became the president of the photography club at the university, and he often took members to the mountain to camping and shooting the starry sky with members on the weekend.

"When we shoot the starry sky, we have to go to the relatively remote suburbs and fields, so as to avoid the pollution of the city and shoot a more pure scene." Li Dezheng said that after a few hours of driving to the suburbs, we need to take a long way to go for a long time. In order to reach the shooting location, "the beautiful scenery is in dangerous places, it is worth it."

Every time he observes an astronomical wonders, he is very excited. Once, when the planet was monitored in real time in Shenzhen Observatory, he found that Jupiter's visual condensate remained in a very good state for a long time, as clear as the picture fixed on the screen. He was very excited. Be able to observe rich details. "The planets that are usually shot are very far away, and the influence of the atmosphere is also very serious. Take a picture of the planet also requires noise, erase impurities, and rich details. From the experience of successful shooting in the past, there was light in his eyes.

I rushed to Chile to observe the full food

"I have a astronomical dream since I was a child." Astronomical enthusiast Wu Xiang introduced that when he was a kid, he had little way to get in touch with astronomical knowledge, but he learned some fragmented astronomical knowledge through TV and books. In 2010, he graduated from college and found that a star chart app could show the direction of the stars such as Jupiter and Mars in the sky according to the direction of the mobile phone. He felt very wonderful, and opened it every night. But he was not satisfied with watching the star track on his mobile phone. He then saved money to buy an astronomical telescope for stargazing. Since then, he has become out of control and has become a thorough astronomical enthusiast.

Wu Xiang is a director of the Shenzhen Astronomy Society. He is engaged in the science of astronomical observation and science of astronomical knowledge. For him, it is a very wonderful thing to combine your hobbies and careers. Over the years, his "chasing the stars and monthly" has spread all over the world. No matter how difficult the journey is, he cannot stop him from observing the pace. He also remembered his experience to go to Chile, South America in order to observe the full food in 2019. He told the deep evening reporter that Chile's climate is dry and air is transparent, which is very suitable for observation of daily food. When he sees the shadow of the shadow from small and large, until the moon is completely covered in the sun, the daily whole food is completely dark, and the temperature is also followed by the temperature. When it was obviously declined, "the shocking mood was nothing to say." Wu Xiang recalled.

Chasing the stars with students to watch the moon together

Hu Zhenhuan, a teacher of Shenzhen Second Experimental School, is also an astronomical enthusiast. As a teacher, Hu Zhenhuan hopes that students can also appreciate the wonderful astronomical phenomenon after studying. Therefore, when the night sky has astronomical wonders, he often takes students to observe and shoot on the school's Observatory. "Uranus is a small dot in the telescope, making a blue -green light. The students saw the special color and determined that the moment he saw Uranus. With the observation experience of the students, he said excitedly.

The emergence of a major heavenly elephant made him very happy. One day in June 2020, he and astronomical enthusiasts went to Xiamen to observe the sun circular food and broadcast live for everyone. The weather on the day was great uncertainty. At about 6 o'clock on the day, everyone went out with the equipment. During the period, I dare not drink water and eat, and I have to pray that the weather is fine. At the observation point, a large cloud covers the sun. Some lost. Fortunately, at the beginning of the sun, the weather suddenly became better, and finally the grand occasion of the sunfood live online for the students.

Hu Zhenhuan's love for astronomy has a lot to do with childhood memory. Recalling the scene of childhood, he said that there was no light pollution at that time when his hometown was polluted. When he was cold in the yard in the summer of childhood, he could see the stars. In summer, the Milky Way was the most beautiful. Plant the next dreamy seed in the heart.
