Seeking other life… from Okavango
Moving from Namibia, next target was lovely Okavango region in Botswana. Just a few kilometres south-east from Maun, there is small spot close to the part of Okavango delta, where you can stay. And even if the sky was not that dark like in Namibia, we enjoyed the skies too. The night 16/17 December 2014 was clear too, so I took my friend Silva to watch the stars with me. She was witnessed by the view into the Large Magellanic cloud, hoping to find some other civilization. She didn’t know it wasn’t that easy; searching of extrasolar planets need much more bigger telescopes and much more sifisticated methods. But she was excited anyway… Used Canon 6D IR Mod, Samyang 24 mm, f2.8, ISO 8000, 13×15 s panorama, tripod.
