RE: [APML] Beautiful Leonid Image



Tony
Thanks, there are so many images on the web now that look like the meteors were rubber stamped that you wonder where to draw "the line".
That is certainly a nice lens. I see some coma but nothing like the Nikon 58 Noct f/1.2. Is it a new lens?
So were the star images guided and then the foreground shot with the camera stationary?

Dale,
 
   It's mostly intact... he shot multiple frames of the same area during the peak of the shower around 2:30 AM PST... All I did was add a few meteors from other frames. But he was shooting towards Palm Springs I think (south) and the light pollution on those clouds was not terrific. He used a
Canon 50mm f/1.2 D lens wide open... so the meteors really showed up on his film. That's quite a lens!
