Description

Exactly two years ago, during the observation with a group of several friends, in the same place, I made my first "decent" astrophoto, which after a few days was found, among others, on APOD social profiles. 😊 This event gave me a lot to further delve into this hobby, the effects of which you can still see today. In addition, more and more friends, seeing my photos, began to be interested in the night sky. 😁 Therefore, this year I decided to organize "Night of Falling Stars Under the Tatras". This event gained publicity in the local media, which made me very happy, because without the force of breakthrough the popularization of astronomy is quite difficult task. And thanks to this, at the maximum, we managed to gather about 40 people to stare at the night sky together 😊😊. And on the following days, already in a more intimate group I found people willing to go hunting at night. And I think I will do much more of such initiatives in the future 😄.

As for the photo itself, we have here material from about 7h (more than 1000 photos) collected for a total of 3 nights (although the one from 13/14 August, was unfortunately very cloudy). Almost 50 meteors can be seen on it (although not all of them are Perseids). And as for the place, this is my favorite because located just 3 km from the house bike path with an excellent view of the western Tatras.
