There is no better way to say hello to the core of the Milky way than with a close up shot. Well, that and the fact that the RHO Ophiuchi was in this position too early (which was my main goal) so I wasn't thrilled to get out of the bed in the middle of the night on a working day. One of the reasons why I picked this spot is also the fact that it is just a 3min walk from my house.
The Church of St. Jost in Trebenče stands on a hill offering lovely views. It was already included in the list of churches in the Cerkno region in 1595. The core of the church has preserved gothic elements, despite the 17th century reconstruction in baroque style. The main characteristic of the church are its inner frescoes, with considerable historical importance.
How I planned this image:
