The Summer Milky-way

Two meteors flash across the Milky-way

The Milky-way streams across the sky above our backyard.  After midnight in the early hours of an August morning I set up my Canon 600D DSLR on a fixed tripod and took 48 x 15 sec exposures. The frames were then stacked using DeepSkyStacker and finished using Photoshop. During two of the 15 second exposures I was lucky to capture meteors as they burnt their terminal trails 90 kilometres above our patio.
