Details:
I shot the Leonid meteor shower on Monday, Nov 17, 2014 and captured a handful of meteors.
This is composite of 5 frames from a 200-frame time-lapse. Five Leonids are recorded here near centre where Leo is rising in the east. Jupiter is the bright object at right. One bright sporadic meteor is at far left and is not part of the meteor shower. The Big Dipper is at left as well, with the handle having just risen. The green is from airglow.
While the Leonid meteors shown here were recorded over a two hour period, the stars are from the last frame of the set of five, so the meteors are not positioned with respect to the rising radiant point but with respect to the sky on the fixed camera.
Each frame was 30 seconds at ISO 4000 with the Canon 6D and 14mm lens at f/2.8. Taken from near Silver City, New Mexico.
