You don’t see anywhere near this many stars at night, so I can’t even recognize Cassiopeia, but the double cluster appears to be barely-noticeable to the upper-right of the tree limbs. It’s much more spectacular in reality, with a little optical help.
Wow... I bet that person feels very small in comparison to the stars! Beautiful, Sunky!
Winter is coming...
It’s funny how constellations disappear with these super sensitive digital cameras. This photo must be 60 seconds at around F1.4 and a quick flashlight blip. Andromeda by itself looks like another comet.
One of the best photos you’ve ever put up, Sunken Civ, really lovely.
I never did see the PanSTARR comet, even though we looked for it for several days from atop a mountain behind our house — I think there was too much ambient light from the city. Really disappointing, but the photos I’ve seen are beautiful.
What a blessing it is to have APOD in my day! Many thanks!
