Re: [APML] Beautiful Leonid Image



That is a nice one, Tony.
I reprocessed my favorite composition from the storm, and added all the frames with meteors to get this:

I spent the entire night shooting only 2 constellations. too bad all the fireballs either were right out of the frame, or went through it while I was advancing the film :-(
this is a combination of 3 frames, each about 10 minutes, but I think one was much shorter because there were less stars in the shot.

Hello,     I have had the good fortune to work on what IMHO is one of the most beautiful images to come out of the Leonid Saga... the combination of the foreground, the clouds, the bright Winter stars, and the Leonids coming out of the clouds all combine to create a magical image. The author of the image is Wally Pacholka, a name some of you might recognize from previous publishings... he spent three nights staying up all night to get this... the image is a composite and I did some extensive work to deal with some severe light pollution issues... I have this on a "secret" part of my web page and we have his permission to exhibit it.    It's at:   http://www.astrophoto.com/WP.htm    Hope you like it,          Tony
