Perseids Meteor Shower of August 12th, 2018
Edit; Now full timelapse of the shower visible here
This has to be one of the toughest astro image I've done and manually processed, with around 60 carefully selected and aligned Perseids out of over 500 sub frames of 10 seconds each, this shower was somewhere between 1:24 till 3 am local time of central Evia island, Greece
I decided to chose the sky frame where the bright fireball hit around 2:22 am, since it affected the landscape so much, lighting the ground, turning the sky blue, and especially reflecting on the high cloud that was there during that moment, which was kind of covering the Milky Way (watch video of the fireball explosion here www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fs6wjRdaJk)
Gear used: Nikon D810a / 14-24 f2.8 @14mm / tripod (no tracking)
