Milky Way over Arezzo

19:02 17/9/2009 UTC

Greetings from Italy! I've always kept imaging Milky Way a difficult challenge. To get a perfect image, one needs a very dark and clear sky, sharp and fast optics and preferrably a nice scenery. I didn't have any tracking mount with me, but actually didn't even need one. Sky limit was easily reached with 20s subs due to quite heavy light pollution from the city of Arezzo. Clouds were passing by and also caused some bloats in the parts of the image. I have removed the brightly lit blurred trees from the front to make the image more pleasant to view. The best memory from this image is the conditions it was taken in. I was wearing no shoes nor socks and had only shorts and T-shirt on. Luxury we don't have here up north...
