Geminid Meteor Shower
Update 124-12-2024:
Replaced image with satellites removed.
My first attempt at recoding a meteor shower. These are the Geminids which are named after the constellation from which they appear the originate from. I recorded some 240 images over a 2 hour period between 2 am and 4 am. I discarded all that did not have a meteor in the image. In the end I only used 14 images plus one for the foreground. The foreground was shot at around 00:30 am when there was almost 50% moonlight. Also visible in this image are the constellation Orion and the planets Jupiter and Mars. Hover your mouse over the image to see where I marked these.
Pre-processed in DxO PhotoLab, Stacked and blended using Affinity Photo. The entire post processing of meteors took a number of hours and has been a huge learning curve for me.
The sky images were 30 sec each, tracked, f/2.8, ISO 1250
The foreground was 5 min, f/9, ISO 100
