Perseid meteor shower composite<br />

The Milky Way<br />

Using a tripod-mounted camera, start with ISO 3200 at f/2.8 with a 25-second exposure. Next, shoot several over- and underexposed<br />

images that bracket this exposure. Images shot with a shutter speed in excess of 30 seconds will show some blurring in<br />

the stars, but no worries.<br />

Finally, in Photoshop, layer your images one on top of the other. Mask out the poorly exposed portions from each image. Do<br />

the same for any blurry stars from the slow shutter speed images. Then, merge your layers and make final processing adjustments.<br />
