Spitzkoppe Night

Enjoy the majestic view of the summer night of the southern hemisphere, captured from captivating Spitzkoppe national park, Namibia. From the right, you can spot both Magellanic Clouds, the great Gum Nebula in the Milky Way, the colorful surrounding of Orion constellation, Hyades and Pleiades clusters, or even the faint Gegenschein. Over the horizon, the dark sky is slightly brighter by green airglow. In the center, the brightest star of the night sky – Sirius – appears just over the Spitzkoppe boulders. Captured on 24th September 2015, used Canon 6D modified, Samyang 24mm, f2.2, ISO 10000, 39x15s panorama from tripod.
