PicturavisMilky Aurora Shower 2.0
This is a second attempt at a composite taken during the Perseid shower in 2024, which coincided with a spectacular auroral display. The aurora and the foreground are from one photo, and the Milky Way was stacked from 114 × 10 s exposures of the same series using #Siril, #GraXpert and #StarNet. Twelve meteors that were photographed in the same scene were manually registered onto the composite and scaled up for better visibility. Most of the compositing was done in #GIMP and the RAW processing of the aurora and the meteor images was done in #Darktable.
Compared to the original processing, I increased the visibility of the Milky Way with a new Siril stacking and processing attempt, composited both images differently via GIMP, and increased the size of the meteors so they are actually visible.
