Orionid’s Shower


Combining data from the last Orionid‘s maxima (from 2015 until 2022), I have created this almost full sky view of the annual meteor shower caused by the material of Halley’s comet. In the foreground, the Slovakian volcanoes around Prešov city can be seen as taken in 2020. The sky was then taken last year during my Meteor Showes Collection project, while some of meteors and planet Mars were captured during the morning of October 21st, 2022. You can count 47 meteors in total (most of them captured during 2020, 2021, and this year maxima). Halley’s comet comes back in 2061, but it is not forgotten these days so far. Used Canon 6D and Saymang 12mm, f2.8, ISO 10000, 30s exposures (meteors), and Canon 6D BCF modified, Sigma 35mm, f1.8, ISO 6400, 15s exposures stitched to panorama (from tripod).
