@@MattDieterich it also has an option to include a blank frame (same settings, lens cap on) and it subtracts the sensor noise from all the images in the set 😉
Thanks. Will give it a try. Managed to find some clear skies here in Western Canada and got some shots. Saw quite a few that did not end up in the camera frame but were nice anyway. Was -18C (-4F???) so lots of frost on camera and tripod but thankfully front of lense did not frost up.
beautiful image!! do you think using a star tracker and increasing exposure (according to histo) to a decent duration could help get better trail or detail/luminance of the meteor and the Milkyway as well. Also keeping the longer exposures using tracker and reducing gap between the shots, wouldnt there by higher probability to capture more meteors?
It's definitely worth the effort to try! Since meteors are so fast I wouldn't expect any more detail if you use a tracker, unless you use a very long focal length. At that point then you are limiting how many meteors you can capture in the frame.
My second comment on this vjdeo.. another question... would it be better to just point the camera purely to the sky to just get more room to capture more meteors?
Beautiful! The green trails or tails for many of your meteors: did they appear that way in the RAW file/in camera, or is there some processing technique you used to achieve that?
Excellent info. Thanks for that
Thanks for watching!
You can save hours using Sequator. It has an option to just align and export the images so you can still do the post in Photoshop
Dang that would save a lot of manual alignment!

Awesome stuff, really beautiful final image
Thanks David really happy you watched!
Thank you Matt. Very helpful
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic method using the blend modes. Thanks for that. And gorgeous work on your image. Cheers,
Thank you!
Another great tutorial Matt, many thanks!
Happy you watched Miroslav!

Whoa Guy that is definitely cold out! Glad you got some clear skies. It was cloudy here in PA.

Absolutely awesome ! Ii’m a beginner in to Astro photography Could you tell us more about the camera settings eg shutter speed and interval .
Thanks
Try 30 second photos with a 1 second Interval between frames. That should be a good starting point.
@@MattDieterich Thank you so much for the info
@@gogreen666 you are welcome, have fun shooting!
In Boston light pollution usually makes Astro impossible, but it was clear a few nights ago! No Meteors ended up in my shots, but some planes did!
Glad you had some clear skies! Was cloudy here in PA. Looks like you guys are going to get some snow soon :)

You definitely can do that if you aren't a fan of having the foreground in your images!

They look green even in the RAW photos, Perseids tend to look that way with their elemental composition as they burn.
@@MattDieterich Wow - fascinating!
