A montage of the Perseids over my Sussex back garden on the early mornings of the 12 & 13 August, 2016.
The image was produced as follows. I had two cameras taking photos throughout the two nights (resulting in a few thousand photos!). I went through all the photos by eye to find the photos that had caught a meteor. I then used ImageMagick to rotate, stretch and generally distort the photos so that the stars were all lined up. I then used Gimp to cut-out each individual shooting star and layer them all on top of each other. There are 3 base images in here (top, middle & bottom) which form the backdrop onto which the shooting stars were placed.
I hope this explains why it took a year for me to motivate myself to process this!
