Perseid meteor across Cygnus

[vincentnm]

Perseid meteor streaking across Cygnus on the night of 12th August. Not a spectacular image. But just for "Been there, done that".

Left the camera clicking away all night aimed at Deneb. Mounted on EQ6. Picture a mosquito sitting on an elephant. Can you spot Cygnus. Deneb is just above the centre of the streak and Sadr towards its right end.

Camera: Canon 350D with 55mm sigma lens

Exposure: Single frame, 30s at ISO 1600

Processing: CS3 Histogram stretching, PixInsight Dynamic background extraction

Cheers

Vincent.
