Description

Perseid Meteor Shower Nightscape and Airglow, 2015. The image here is a composite mosaic of the early morning scene over 3.3 hours and nearly 600 images from 3 cameras. The image contains 31 meteors, though many more were recorded and have yet to be included into the composite.

See: http://www.clarkvision.com/articles/meteor.photography/

The mosaic/stack is made from 584 images, 250 if which were used to make the mosaic plus others that were used for meteors. Each meteor is at the position among the stars at the time of the exposure where the meteor was recorded, thus placed into the mosaic at that same position. The images were obtained between 12:52 and 4:12 AM Mountain Daylight Time, so 3.3 hours of imaging time per camera.

35 mm f/1.4, 24 mm f/2.4, 15 mm f/2.8 lenses were used.
