Description

A composite deepscape captured during the Perseids of 2021, this image shows a roughly accurate representation of the night sky around Chau Chau Kang Nilda, though the scales of the foreground and the sky don't match from the location it is shot. The background sky shows the dust and the nebulosity in Cepheus-Cassiopeia region along with the interstellar dust in the regions of Andromeda and Cepheus and the instantly recognisable Andromeda Galaxy. The meteors are blended from timelapses of the various regions of the night sky taken over two nights, made to appear originating from the rough radiant point in Perseus.

Sky:
35x120s shots tracked, shot @ 24mm
Meteors composited from images shot over 2 nights.

Foreground:
Single 120s sub @ 70mm shot during the blue hour.
