16 - Astrophotography [ongoing…]
2025 08 13 - Perseid pt 2
I went out again to see remnants of the Perseid showers after their peak, but only saw two meteors. I did however get a cool Andromeda shot, plus a very annoying but well-placed satellite.
Same shot, but stacked without so much satellite activity.
I couldn’t find anything on why this banding happens, so I assume it’s the low bit depth of my camera, even though some 50 photos were stacked. Very strange, but I still like that shot.
2025 08 12 - Peak of this year’s Perseid showers
I was out to see the Perseid showers during their peak and in the unideal circumstances managed to see five or six beautiful meteor streaks.
Unintentionally, I captured satellites. Many, many satellites. That’s what the many many small streaks are in many of the photos.
There were tons of people out for it, which is awesome.
Sadly, the annotation failed on this image, but it worked out on the others.
