Description

This is a composite image of the Perseid Meteor shower taken on the morning of 8-14-2021.  111 images were stacked for the background stars.  The images containing meteors were then composited on top of the background image in separate layers in Photoshop CC using the lighten blending mode.  Masks were used to isolate the meteors to prevent adding unwanted satellite and airplane trails.  The lens used was a Sigma 40mm f/1.4 Art lens with the aperture set to f/1.8.
