First attempt at a night sky timelapse this weekend, during the tail end of the Perseid meteor shower. Focus was on the apparent rotation of the stars, but there were a few frames with meteors. If you've got quick eyes you might pick some out between the typical air traffic.

Feel free to share, thanks!

The instructions reference Photoshop, although these methods can be used in other layer-based photo editing software. Enjoy!

The basis for a multiframe shot is a combination of multiple shots (taken in rapid sequence) to be layered and aligned in Photoshop.

This beauty is on display at the Seal Cove Auto Museum, in nearby Seal Cove, MDI, Maine. It's a 1915 FRP, manufactured by Finley Robertson Porter Company, of Port Jefferson, NY. According to the Museum, it's one of only 9 produced, and the only one known to remain.
