Views of the Milky Way 🌌

This is another image from the Šumava National Park, the darkest place in the Czech Republic. But this image was taken with an unmodified camera. Someone might say it's a shame that I didn't take it with a modified 6D, but actually... it's true. But... I wasn't ready. I was shooting unexpected NLCs, and I didn't have the 6D with me. So when darkness fell and the stars were so bright, I only took a couple of shots with what I had.

 

Overall, I am pretty happy with this because the Milky Way looks pretty good even with this camera, especially since colors are more realistic. It seems like the conditions were very good at this moment because the final result looks like it was taken under a much darker sky than it actually was.

 

PS: There is the Cat's Paw Nebula and the War and Peace Nebula visible in the image! Wow!

 

Clear skies!
