Description
I spent the only clear night of the last new moon period in my beloved Alpstein mountains in Switzerland. This is a spot I had never visited before and where I had to rely on offsite planning. My calculations predicted the Milky Way arch to be positioned over some prominent peaks, while the core would be framed by a conveniently located gap.
Of course, there is always an element of uncertainty with such plannings. In this case, the trees on the far right were a bit higher than expected, which resulted in a rather tight time window between core rise and the colorful Rho Ophichui region getting blocked by those trees.
