Well, trust me &#8211; it&#8217;s better than watching TV! When I came to Greg Laws&#8217; large <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dqae.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">farm Dqae Qare<\/a> in Botswana, I didn&#8217;t even think about something like that. But thanks to Greg&#8217;s hospitality and incredible helpfulness me and my friends could enjoy this unusual experience. As we were dining during the twilight, the center of Milky Way with the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Scorpius\" target=\"_blank\">Scorpius constellation<\/a> above our heads slowly appeared. It was so bright and full of structures by dark nebulae that in one moment we just couldn&#8217;t eat and we were only gazing the stars. Not so far from an abandoned <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/San_people\" target=\"_blank\">bushmen village<\/a> we felt like in the middle of African &#8220;bushy&#8221; nowhere, taking only care about ourselves with potential presence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enca.com\/technology\/south-africas-dangerous-snakes\" target=\"_blank\">poisoned snakes<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biodiversityexplorer.org\/arachnids\/scorpions\/buthidae\/parabuthus.htm\" target=\"_blank\">scorpions<\/a>. Dangerous? Not at all, exciting! In the end, the only scorpion we saw was the biggest and the most disatant one &#8211; in the sky! Captured on 11th September 2015 and used Canon 6D Baader modified, Samyang 24 mm, f2.8, ISO 8000, 54&#215;15 seconds stereographic panorama.
