    I managed to get several shots of the 2013 Perseid Meteor shower, including this one over Plympton, Nova Scotia. There are two meteors in the image, the smallest one just above the middle of the treeline.

    • Focal: 24 mm
    • Shutter speed: 25 sec
    • Aperture: f/ 3.5

    Hi Shawn, yes it is possible, and i am currently working on a composite image. The one above is not stacked though, and is a single 25 sec. exposure.

    Excellent capture. Is it possible to stack the photos so many meteors appear?
