A stack of 434 exposures, taken for a time-lapse sequence, each exposure being 5 seconds at f/4 and with the Canon 7D at ISO 2000 and 10-22mm lens at f4. Exposures were short due to bright full Moon light and to minimize blurring of the windmill blades. A bright meteor appeared on one of the frames. The windmill is in the Wintering Hills windfarm south of Drumheller, Alberta.
Two bright Perseid meteors streaka cross the rising star trails of the autumn constellations. This is a stack of 9 x 1 minute exposures, taken sequentially, with the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 3200, and 16-35mm lens at f/6 and 17mm. Taken at the Upper Bankhead parking lot, Banff, Alberta during the peak night of the 2012 Perseid meteor shower.
A composite of the August 2012 Perseid meteor shower taken from the Upper Bankhead parking area on the Minnewanka Loop Road in Banff, Alberta, on the night of August 11/12, 2012. A faint red aurora and some airglow tint the sky. Capella and the Pleiades are just rising, as is Jupiter on the horizon here. The sky is also brightening with the imminent moonrise. The very bright meteor at upper left might have been a non-Perseid sporadic as its origin doesn’t quite point to the radiant of the Perseids. This is a composite of 16 images of meteors taken over 2.5 hours from midnight to 2:30 am, blended onto a single background exposure for the sky, with the ground from another stack of 16 exposures taken during that sequence, and averaged to smooth noise in the shadows. Each exposure was 60 seconds, untracked, at ISO 2500 with the 16-35mm lens at f/4 and Canon 5D MkII camera. The images were taken as part of a time-lapse sequence, with the raw files re-processed in April 2019.
