A Grand Moment at Night Revisited

Given the advancement in Lightroom program since I took this capture back in 2015, I wanted to revisit and process with the sky capture feature for masking, and applying the dehaze to bring out more details within the sky and Milky Way.

 

That meteor was a very bright one to the eye. Once in a trillion shot ... right spot right time.

 

At times I wish I had had my Sigma 14mm f1/8 lens for this capture, as this was taken with the Canon 17/40mm f/4 lens. Hence this was captured at ISO 8000 and 30 seconds. So the movement in the stars is more than I am used to now versus the Sigma 14mm at f1.8, ISO 6400, and 10 seconds. That lens is a prime and much sharper than the 17mm as well.

 

But ... at 10 seconds, there is good chance I may have missed the meteor in the sky. So the 30 seconds may have allowed for this capture in the end after all.

 

Food for thought ...
