A fight for zodiacal light

This is colorful, but also kind of sad portrait of night sky above Jizerka, Czech republic.

Comet Lovejoy’s Crown

I was very lucky on 6th December morning, because I had just a few minutes of hole in the clouds, right before orcan Xaver hits central Europe. Also during capturing this exposure two satellites (probably Iridium) flew in the…
