[APML] Leonids Composite

[Matt BenDaniel <matt@starmatt.com>]

I've never done a composite like this one before. I scanned over 100 frames and selected 22 of them.

One mistake I made was failing to do the following: During a lull in the shower, I should've stopped down my lens and done a long shot to produce the background. Then I would have avoided the star aberrations here. I suppose I could go out some night soon and do that.

I used Fuji Press 400 film. I suspect it may not have been the best choice. Seems like red response is a bit down.

I was not impressed with the shower. It was nothing like last year's. We also had clouds and mediocre transparency. Not to mention the full moon.

Comments welcome.
