[prokyon]

Hi folks,

last weekend we had great weather. Fog in the valleys but clear sky in the mountains. So I had to go to my favorite mounten, 1600m above sea level.
I captured 9h40min of data with the Canon EF 1.4 50mm @ f/4. ,Moravian G2-8300FW. LRGB, same time for every channel.

wow, What a beautiful part of the world. And those skies. Very nice.

That widefield with the pleiades and the Ha region is amazing. Love the colors and the faint stuff. All the starscapes are so cool too. I remember the sea of clouds if you go high enough. Must have been cold though. The lighting from under the fog in the valleys makes for a superb vista. Top stuff. :thumbsup:

[David Fitz-Henr]

Yes, that's a great widefield shot Werner! ... and those images above the fog layer are terrific, looks like a beautiful location to image / observe from!
