360 Degree Startrails Panorama
Copyright: György Soponyai

Sunday evening I travelled to the peak of Kab Mountain near Veszprém in Hungary in order to observe the setting crescent Moon, the Geminids and do some "recreational" nightscape photographing under clear skies as Budapest (where I'm living) has been obscured by fog for weeks. This 360 degree startrail picture is a result of almost four hours of exposure dominated by the two broadcasting towers of the Mountain.

The Village Colors

The humidity is well known per the astrophotographers, because is one of our worst enemies, but in this case the light pollution of the small village combined with the high humidity and the low temperatures has done possible to see this curious effect of lighting columns in the atmosfere. The small village of Saldes have a 300 population and it is located 1215 altitude in the base of Pedraforca (2506 mt altitude) that is one of the most emblematic mountains of Catalonia-Spain.

Equipment: Sony A7S, Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, 10 seconds ISO 6400.

The brightest star is Vega

Totality ("Virtual Reality")
Copyright: György Soponyai

This "virtual reality" photo is my first experiment in playing with the just-launched Flickr VR tool. I didn't expect to reuse the original photo such a way so that the bottom is missing as I positioned my camera slightly upwards in order to have some overlapping in the zenith as I tried to capture any potential auroras in the sky as well.

The photo was taken on the first minute of the totality of the solar eclipse at the shore of Greenland Sea near Longyearbyen Airport.
