Description

I live right outside of Boston so my skies are a Bortle 8. I normally don't catch more than 1-2 meteors if I'm lucky and I got really lucky this time around. No moon, few clouds, and lots of bright meteors. 


Equipment used:
  • Canon T5i
  • Samyang 14mm set to f/2.8
  • 7 second exposures
  • ISO3200
  • Post-processed in Lightroom with minor adjustments in Photoshop. Composite done in photoshop.


Most of these are from 1:30 am to 3 am EST on Dec 14.

I created tutorials on how to composite a meteor shower in both Gimp and Photoshop:
