Description

I had this project in my mind for some time now but needed darker skies than i get in my backyard. I really love the old constellation arts, imagining what a magnificently dark sky people back then could look at every night. No wonder it made their minds create all sorts of patterns and epic scenes. Hope you enjoy it too.

best regards and clear skies everyone

ps: credit for the art goes to Stellarium (great planetarium software). i sincerely hope using it here is okay.
