| The Milky Way from Etoile St Cyrice, Haute Alpes |
The weather improved and the stars came out and oh there are so many! The above image was taken with my Canon 400d DSLR camera with an EOS lens at f =18mm. The constellation Sagittarius, in the shape of a 'teapot,' can be seen centre-left just above the horizon. The Milky Way is quite bright and broad at this point. The massive blackhole at the centre of our spiral galaxy is just above and to the right of Sagittarius. You can clearly see the central bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. How good is that!
I enjoyed the stars so much, I decided to paint the scene in astronomical twilight! Thanks Olly and Monique for making this possible.
