20180811_Perseid_Compilation
I went out hunting for the Perseid Meteors this season and learned again how camera shy these guys can be! You’d see flashes and trails very frequently and usually where your camera was not pointed or when it was not acquiring! This compilation was looking off of the main origination spot in the sky, but managed over 2+ hours to capture more than my other configuration. While they mostly emanate from one location, the specifics of their trajectories can result in some going more across my frame (or even upwards). I processed the Milky Way separately to use as a backdrop and Photoshopped the meteorites where they appeared in frame. The fainter meteorites hint at the limitations of my glass and my sensor—there was no doubt more to see. Still, by far my best meteor shower! Cheers! Made from 5 light frames (captured with a Canon camera) by Starry Landscape Stacker 1.6.2. Algorithm: Median
