Description

A photo taken of Barnards Loop in the constellation Orion at the Starparty in Wateren (Drenthe) in the Netherlands. The photo was taken  on Saturday morning (14/10) at about 5 o’clock just after heavy showers. The clouds were occasionally coming in thus I could use only a couple of lights with the whole Orion on it. The SQM was about 21,2. For me used to light polluted skies it was a special experience.
Polar alignement happened in the dark and it was amazing how many stars I could see in the my Losmandy polarscope Polaris was not such an obvious choice any more. I used my samyang 85 mm lens on f/2.0 on my AVX mount.
