Looks to me like it's the closest anybody's ever got to those great images you're often posting here...up in the sky...so many stars, so many other things........and this person saw it like THIS? WOW!! Gorgeous!
Z, It is a wonderful picture. Suitable for framing or PC wallpaper. I will say the photographer did not see this image exactly like this. I suspect this was a long(a few seconds) exposure so as to capture as much light on the film as possible.
Without the light pollution of being near city lights though, I think the human eye could come very close to seeing such a skyscape.
Looks like an oil painting that could be a collaboration between Kaspar David Friedrich (late 1700's) and Claude Monet (late 1800's). BEAUTIFUL whatever it is!
Very nice! I'm just very happy for this "adventurous alpinist astrophotographer" finally getting to utilize his $100,000 degree. I will still have to use 1% of his student loan balance in his debt-to-income ratio when applying for his home mortgage. Then again, he probably is used to sleeping under the stars in a pup tent.
Wow and super wow.... I recall the first time I flew above the clouds as the sun was setting and the amazement of the beauty. I can only imagine the feeling of being part of this experience, even if it was not exactly as pictured.
