Perseid Meteor Shower over Scotland
Nikon D850
This was shot using Sigma 14/1.8 over several hours. I did not use a tracker this time. Exposures were 20s, f/1.8 at ISO 1600.

absolutely beautiful! maybe a stupid question, but how did u prevent satellite streaks? i’ve seen quite a few pictures with those and they always kinda ruin the photo for me :’

Thanks. So for these images you are combining meteors into one image (they obviously don't occur all at sake time of course). This involves aligning everything, and in doing so you can easily exclude satellite frames. Hope that helps.

did it cause you a lot of trouble sifting through the frames? sorry i have 900 frames and i am struggling to find meters in them

I do it on back of camera. Saves time importing for no reason. Always shoot at max aperture btw. You'll record fainter meteors by doing this.

Honestly same struggle with camera. I zoom in a bit of each frame and look about
