Scooot Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Well I think it is? I took nearly 4 hours of 15 second frames with a 2 second delay starting around midnight. I used my Canon 250D and in the absence of a more suitable lens, a Takuma Pentax 50mm set to f1.4 at ISO 800, so don't look too closely at the stars. - I obviously caught lots of satelites and planes but this appeared on a single frame, its pointing at the Radiant and has a bit of colour. I stacked the stars in Pixinsight and blended the comet into the stack. I've just bought a 14mm f2.8 lens so I'm going to have another go at catching some more if its clear enough. This the single frame with just a screen stretch for info. Edited August 9 by Scooot 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenlandPaul Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Lovely little thing! Yes, I’d say definitely a Perseid with that gorgeous green hue. Hope you’ve recovered from sifting through all those frames!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the back of the camera screen was like a video, and I could quickly stop and check when I saw a flash. They were quite bright on the screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
