Details:
Composite image of Perseid meteor shower taken from 2136-2240 MST 11 August 2020. Image capture was terminated shortly before Moon rise.
The camera was pointed with the radiant in the lower left corner and was mounted on a tracker. The lens focal length was 50mm which has ~46° diagonal (39°h x 30°w) field of view—fairly narrow for capturing meteors. On the other hand, it provides a lot of detail when zoomed in 100%, as in the second image.
Nikon D750, Nikon 50mm AIS ƒ/1.8 @ ƒ2.8, ISO 1600, 30 seconds stacked.
