Winter Splendor

The Creux du Van is a natural rocky amphitheater, located in the north-western part of Switzerland, that was formed by glacial erosion. It is approximately 1,400 metres wide and 150 metres deep.

 

During a short break in the November clouds, I went with my buddy benjaminbarakat to the Creux du Van and captured the splendor of the winter sky.

 

Mars, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Heart and Soul Nebulas, the Double Cluster, the California Nebula, the Pleiades, the Orion Complex and the Rosette Nebula are just a few of the deep sky objects visible in this image... Each of them is reason enough to stay out all night.
