From Gegenschein to False dawn
Copyright: Petr Horálek
This is more than half-night panorama (almost 270 degrees) of the zodiacal light from the Gegenschein to morning column called "false dawn", captured over the ESO's La Silla Observatory. The zodiacal light is enhanced by several mathematical methods a it shows that it's definitely not a boring or even annoying object in the sky. It has many particular structures, which are just waiting to be revealed soon or later as the evolution of digital photography is so fast every day. Much more info, including the technical ones, you can read on my website:
