Description
September is a special month for astrophotography in the mid northern lattitudes. The memories of the warm summer nights are still fresh and we have the last chance to capture the Dark Horse and the Milky Way core for a few hours in the evening. Winter is approaching fast though and the rise of Orion, the hunter, in the morning hours is an unmistakable sign for this. Between the MW core and Orion, Cygnus is riding high in the sky, giving even more options for nightscape compositions.
During this perfect night,I had the chance to shoot this little chapel from different angles, taking advantage of all possible astronomical alignments. My favorite capture is this one with Orion, Barnards Loop, Rosette Nebula, Meissas nebulosity, the Hayades, the Pleiades, California Nebula and Mars shining brightly on the upper right.
