Perseids Meteor Shower
Aug. 14th, 2012 10:20 pm I went out to watch the Perseids meteor shower on Saturday. While I tried another set of star trails with considerably more success. Not professional quality yet, but a good start.
This was made from seven 10 minute exposures at f/8 at 400iso. I believe the purple on the left side is lens flair from passing cars. Long exposure noise reduction was turned off so I need to figure out how to remove the noise in post processing. I am also wondering if shorter exposures would decrease the noise as well. Unfortunately we havn't had many clear nights since so I havn't had much chance to experiment.
