Galactic highway
During the night of last Thursday to Friday I have been shooting at the stars with an astro friend on a bridge above a highway at the south of Tours (France). The aim? Catching nice car trails with the Milky Way above.
The least I can say is that it has been amazing! One single shot has been enough to produce stunning car trails (given the high numbers of cars that night). After the astronomical twilight, the sky was CRAZY : the heart of our galaxy is here very clear, plenty of stars are visible while nebulae (such as Trifid or Lagoon) and star clusters shine bright - and I had the good surprise to see (when developing the picture) that a superb green shooting star has been crossing the heart of the Milky Way!
Nikon D610 + Sigma 35mm Art
Foreground: single shot @ 20s, f/8, ISO100
Sky: stacking of 61 shots @ 8s, f/2, ISO1600
Same gear, same place, shots taken all in a row
