Moosehorn Lake Perseid Meteor Shower

            Here's my effort at the 2016 Perseid Meteor Shower, taken from Moosehorn Lake in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. Altogether about 125 shots went into making this one shot with my Nikon D600 and Rokinon 24mm f1.4 lens on my Star Adventurer Tracking Mount as well as my Nikon D7000 and Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 lens on my iOptron Skytracker mount. 

Forecasts had called for upwards of 200 meteors per hour, definitely wasn't that strong, I'd say on the order of 50-80 meteors per hour. Watching the meteor shower is always fun, imaging and then editing the shots is VERY labor intensive. Took about 8 hours to edit this one photo.
