Galaxy Curtain Call Performance
SIR PATRICK MOORE PRIZE FOR BEST NEWCOMER – WINNER 2018
This was the last opportunity in 2017 to see the silver core of the Milky Way before it sunk below the horizon. It was followed by the curtain call of Scorpio heralding the upward trend of Orion in the sky. Meanwhile, the season of bright shooting stars arrived. The image is stitched together from a total of 20 pictures.
