Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2024 Meteor Shower over the Lighthouse A3 Print
Meteor Shower over the Lighthouse © Yoshiki Abe
"Astronomy Photographer of the Year is an annual competition featuring the world’s greatest space photography. Photographers from across the globe compete to take home the prestigious title.
""Cape Sata, the southernmost tip of mainland Kyushu, has a wonderful starry sky.
There is a lighthouse there, the first one built in 1871.
I captured the Milky Way rising above the lighthouse and the Perseid meteor shower falling on it." Yoshiki Abe
This is a composite photograph.
The same night, same location, but with a foreground shot in the blue hour and a slight tripod shift to capture the Milky Way and shooting stars.
The Milky Way was stacked and enhanced in Pixinsight and combined with the foreground in Photoshop.
Starnet++, Topaz DeNoize AI and RC-ASTRO BlurXTerminator were used in the retouching process.
