The annual meteor shower Eta-Aquarids is just in progress and I was lucky to observe the maximum at San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Luckily, the weather is very favorable and Moon doesn't shine when radiant rises, so I took the chance to capture this composite image. Foreground was taken on May 3rd while meteors were taken by time-lapse wide-angle photography during last nine days (from 28 April to 6 May). The view to the shower caused by Halley's comet was very nicely supplemented by a wonderful planetary parade in the Zodiacal Light. Foreground was captured on Canon Ra, Samyang 24mm, f2.8, ISO 10000, a panorama of single 15s exposures from a tripod. Meteors were taken on 2 cameras Canon 6D (modified) and 12mm, f2.8, ISO 8000. Panorama contains 74 meteors in total.
