Perseids Across the Milky Way — A Composite

This image was captured over the course of an entire night at Laguna de Gallocanta in Spain, following the total solar eclipse. (12.08.26)

The Milky Way background was processed by stacking multiple exposures. I then searched through all the individual frames for Perseid meteors and composited them onto the final stacked image.

It was a long night, and quite a bit of work in post-processing. But seeing all the meteors together made it worth it!

Camera: Canon EOS 750D (Astro modified)
Lense: Canon EF-S 10-18mm

Little Half Moon + Full Moon Composite

This image is a composite of two separate stacks: one stack of a first-half Moon and one stack of a full Moon, which I darkened to match the unlit portion. I also adjusted the saturation slightly to make the subtle lunar colors more visible.

The data was captured about two months ago using my Canon EOS 750D and an SVBony SV555.

Final sharpening was done in RegiStax, with the rest of the processing completed in Photoshop.
