Deep in the Indian Ocean, an emerald can be found. Not large, but truly natural and full of plants island called Thoddoo<\/a>, Maldives<\/a>. Proud locals produce their own fruit and vegetable, welcome the tourists with wide-open arms, and show them the importance of the true relationship to the natural heritage of the island, such as endangered turtles<\/a> and other species. Unfortunately, the island itself is a source of light pollution<\/a> and so it is not easy to find a good spot for stargazing.

The rising Milky Way followed the captivating light of the bioluminescent plankton<\/a> while a small meteor appeared in the sky, close to the Gegenschein<\/a>. Even if the tourist ship turned on its bright light in the distance, still remember the best of the dark skies there.<\/p>\n

Captured on 20th February 2023. Used Canon Ra, Sigma 35mm, ISO 6400, f2.2, panorama of 56 single 10s exposures from tripod, Optolong Clear Sky filter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
