The shot I posted yesterday, I mentioned something about my PC having a cold. The problem is taken care of, and not as drastic as a virus, so I am beyond happy! And that means, i was able to stack! Because PC, so far, is my only option for stacking. Any MAC users out there who has software, outside of PhotoShop, for stacking? PLEASE, let me know.

So, this was actually from the night before last, or yesterday AM. And this would be the one full of meteors! 15 meteors to be exact. What? Not 17 like mentioned the day before? No, one meteor was from a different composition, before moving the camera, and thats the one pictured from the day before. And the other, was at the end of the 5 hours, and the glass was mostly fogged over. The meteor was bright enough to shine through, but that was all! So I chose to leave those 2 out. Other then that, here you go! Find the 15 meteors!

What have I learned through out this process? A meteor shower is a crazy thing. You may, or may not see anything. And at the end of a LONG morning, it might not matter at all how many you captured, they don't really show on a stacked image like this! But I bet you can see the bright one just right of the middle! And the 7 dotted light trails to the left, forget it! Those are aircraft coming home from a long flight!

Geek talk: For this image, I stacked a total of 394 images. All of which are:
30 seconds long
ISO 1250
f/3.5

I really hope that you enjoy!

For information on how I do this kind of stacking, feel free to visit my blog, an entry devoted to stacking star trails.
