Perseid meteor shower composite

The Milky Way

Using a tripod-mounted camera, start with ISO 3200 at f/2.8 with a 25-second exposure. Next, shoot several over- and under-
exposed images that bracket this exposure. Images shot with a shutter speed in excess of 30 seconds will show some blurring in
the stars, but no worries.
Finally, in Photoshop, layer your images one on top of the other. Mask out the poorly exposed portions from each image. Do
the same for any blurry stars from the slow shutter speed images. Then, merge your layers and make final processing adjustments.
