Lyrids Composite 21st-22nd


Recommended Posts

I know this is probably cheating but this is a composite of six separate 16 bit mono images taken with my Allsky camera (ASI120MM-S) on the 21st. Out of over 1000 images just six clearly showed signs of meteor activity. I aligned each frame using DynamicAlignment in PixInsight , layered them in Photoshop with a Hide All mask and then allowed the meteor to be revealed as a Lighten layer. Relatively they are all in the correct place with regard to the Plough but the times were spread throughout the night. Have to say I expected to see a few more.

I did the same on 20th-21st and only recorded one meteor in 750 images. The 22nd-23rd was worse - nothing!

Bottom of the picture is pretty much due East.

Apologies for the quality of the image.

Thanks for looking.
