Flagstaff, AZ, USA
08:27 pm
Unmodified Canon 1200d, 10mm f/2.8 lens at 6400iso for 20 sec each, on a tripod, and used a remote shutter to do the 4 1/2 hr long time lapse in Flagstaff, AZ from 5:45pm - 10:15pm.
This image was created for me by an online friend in Pakistan. I do not know what editing tools he used to create this image, I am sorry. I sent him 20 raw images with meteors in them from a 4 1/2 hr time lapse that I did on Nov 4th in Flagstaff, AZ, and then he sent me this completed combined image. The image to start with (the main image), was the image that I posted here on Nov 8th with the single large meteor. He then added in the other meteors to that image from the 20 images that I sent him.
Taurid and Leonid Meteors
A friend combined meteors I captured during a 4 1/2 hr long time lapse that I did on November 4th into one single image for me.
The meteors on the right came from the Taurid Meteor Showers (radiating from the Taurus Constellation.) The Southern Taurid Meteor Shower peaked on Nov 2nd - 4th and the Northern Taurid Meteor Shower peaked on Nov 12th - 14th. The two meteors on the left are from the Leonid Meteor Shower (radiating from the Leo Constellation), which is active from Nov 6th - 30th, and its peak was on Nov 16th / 17th.
