The rise of the galactic center of the Milky Way
Picture taken at the Texas Star Party , Fort Davis. An altitude of 1.5 km. above sea level in combination with the absence of light pollution give a stunning picture. I advise you to watch the HD version on Vimeo.
PS Yes, the view with the naked eye is different from what is in the video.
“Contrast and brightness have been increased to the Milky Way more stunning in the video. However, overhead is a very stunning experience. The Milky Way is coming up over the horizon. When the Milky Way is overhead it casts shadows. You can hold your hands. It’s a bright experience in the sky. Fort Davis, Texas is at 5,000 feet altitude with very dark and transparent skies. ”
UPD. Thank you BorisK for the translation:
“We increased the brightness and contrast to make the Milky Way more impressive in the video. But live, on a Texas starry evening, when the eyes have become accustomed to the darkness, the Milky Way right above your head is breathtaking. Many newcomers at the party noted that the rising of the Milky Way is like thunder clouds appearing over the horizon. When the Milky Way ascended completely, the objects began to cast shadows. You can raise your hand, lead it and you will see how the shadow of a hand runs along the ground. It can be said that when you see the Milky Way so bright, it turns the soul. The sky over Fort Davis in Texas, which is at an altitude of 1500 meters, is very black and transparent. ”
