Nightscape Panorama at Aroudillas beach, Corfu, Greece

Nightscape Panorama at the natural cove on the coastal of Arcoudillas at Asprokavos cape, nightscape under the moonlight, gazing the distant stars next to the clay sediment age of ~1-2 million years old on deposit with big pebbles which form two lines creating the cove.

In the center and right of the photo we see our galaxy Milky Way that creates an arc because of its position on the sky, next to it and out of the picture is our satellite the Moon that shins in the sky, on the left and up on the picture is the constellation of Ursa Major the Bear or Big Dipper, and almost on the centrer is Vega, α-Lyr, the second brightness star across the northern hemisphere.

On Thursday early morning I observed the conjunction of Venus and Moon in the look-out tower of József Hill where a wonderful panorama of the waking Budapest was visible.

The only downside of this image is that it doesn't show the faint outer tidal features.
