Perseids (2010)

Looking through the images I collected last night revealed 6 meteors, 2 aircraft & a lot of satellites. I’d taken 10 90 second images of the area around Cassiopeia which were stacked to provide the background. The images with meteors trails were then selected and using painted selection masks superimposed on the background using Photoshop.

Next time I will acquire the images slightly differently.  Downloading them to the laptop results in a considerable time lapse between images. Capturing jpegs directly to the camera flash card with the camera locked on repeat would minimise the chance of missing meteors.
