shot the Geminids meteor shower from midnight and in to the morning. I used a Nikon D810, and 14mm sigma. Setting where 20sec shutter. During the night, the radiant of the Geminids move true the sky since I shot east/south east. I want to blend in all the brightest shooting stars in photoshop. I can take the shootings stars from each frame, but that will not look so good, since the radiant moved. So i was thinking about aligning the pictures to one frame where the radiant was and then place in the meteors as if they appeared at that time when the radiant was at that fixed position. Is there any way Pixinsight can help with that? I tried to use the star alignment program inside, but I think the meteors disappear and Ii don’t have any other files than the raw files. I see something about a dark frame etc?
I can attach a few pictures to show you what I mean. The first one is all the meteors perhaps a satellite or two just blended in during the night. The thing I want to try is to get the meteors to look like they all are coming from the radiant at 5 o clock in the morning when we got a big one captured. I tried moving it around in Photoshop, but some pointed out that this program could make the job easier? Since it might can help with where the shooting star I got around 2 o clock would be if it came around 5 o clock and traced back to the radiant.
I want to use the picture with the big meteor/ shootings stars as reference and align the pictures that has meteors/shooting stars to get them aligned to where they would be if the radiant had been at the 05 in the morning picture if that makes any sense? Because the composite image attached now shows them coming from the radiant at different positons during the night.
The first picture is with all of them layered on the 5 o clock picture.
The next has a R in red over it where they radiant is, and then i moved the picture to match so the small shooting star is where I think it should be around 5 o clock compared to the radiant and the stars. So can this program help me make the alligment easier with the other shoooting stars ?
