I set up for a time-lapse video, 1,000 6-second frames at 15-second intervals. ISO 1600 at f 2.8. Started the video at 23:07 EST. Shooting time 4 hours, completed video is 33 seconds. Clouds rapidly rolled in after I started, and on review of the finished video I had only captured 2 meteor trails before a total overcast set in. I grabbed a screen shot of each meteor frame viewed in VLC and merged them in Paint Shop Pro. I desaturated the image a little to diminish the reddish skyglow that I get at my location, and adjusted the brightness levels a wee bit. Position 27.06, -82.36. Bortle 5.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II, Sigma 18-35 lens, iOptron Skytracker Pro.

2 frames from my timelapse video, screen captured from VLC video playback and merged in Paintshop Pro, contrast increased slightly and color intensity reduced.
