WORKFLOW / METEOR SHOWERS

Give the sky and each meteor their own place.

An actual macOS UI validation capture illustrates background preparation, masks, and trail review. This is a workflow example, not a final image-quality or release claim.

1. Prepare the background and sky mask

Choose background frames and inspect the sky mask. Review the horizon and foreground edges before confirming it for background processing. The red overlay is a review display.

2. Review each trail

After locating meteors, keep or exclude individual trails. Review markers help inspect placement and canvas coverage; green lines are not part of the final output.

3. Keep separate layers

Export background, meteor signal, and masks separately for later processing. This historical development run had format and canvas acceptance issues; it does not establish current output quality.
