Astro season is ON

Right now I'm pretty excited because I took propably the best astro photo so far. New moon, not too many clouds, nearly astronomical darkness, shooting stars, could it really be any better. In my opinion: NO, except some auroras would be welcome, but anyhow last night was stunning. The fresh autumn scent floating in the air in the middle of dark forest. I can't imagine anything cooler than this. I took 100 frames for my timelapse video also which is nice as well. Unfortunately this week's weather forecast doesn't look too good for me. It's going to rain whole week.

Forgotten astro

Lately I've been photographing A LOT, and I totally had forgotten one quite nice astro photo. This one was taken in September. You can see more of the sweet middle part of Milky Way in this photo compared to the previous one I posted, and day by day Milky Way is disappearing beyond the horizon.

Astral greatness

I guess that earlier this week I got the best milky way photo so far. The feeling when you're standing in the middle of forest, total darkness surrounds you and the only thing you hear is the wind gently blowing. Staring the sky upon you, you see thousands and thousands of stars and it makes you feel a very small piece in this huge universe. Your everyday misfortures start to feel meaningless.

I want to thank Andrei for my new stamp. In my opinion it looks really cool especially if you compare it to my previous one.
