Shining Heart

The weather in Switzerland has been horrible lately and I had no chance to shoot the Milky Way since late February. Luckily I was able to take my chance during the only clear night in the last new moon period.

 

While capturing my images, I noticed that Jupiter has travelled quite a far since my last imaging session. In February, it was residing at the hoofs of the dark horse, wile it now shines right in its heart. I am glad that I was able to capture this memorable view, which will only happen again in about 12 years.
