After spending a full night under the stars in the Swiss Alps at the Emosson Dam on October 26th, I came home with a lot of sequence that will be featured in my next big release 'Galaxies Vol II' coming next spring.
I really wanted to put the emphasis on Orion, as it is a bit detached from our own milky way center per se, but it offers visible features at mid-narrow angles (85 and 135mm) caught extremely well here with my Baader modded Canon 6D and Samyang 135mm, taking advantage of the astro-modification to see Barnard's loop and the Lambda Orionis. Shooting in extremely high light pollution, I used Lonely Speck's Pure night filter to increase contrast in the nebulosity, failing which I would have gotten these results. Look at how sharp and detailed the images look, especially when tracked with the Vixen Polarie.
I really wanted to capture the nebula rising from a mountain and show so much nebulosity and details in just single shots, as it has never been shown before on the internet. On some other scenes, you can also see some Orionid meteors which is still on-going.
The damn is extremely well situated and offers a 180 view on Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak culminating at 4810m. The white mountains offered a pristine view lit up by the first quarter moon setting, but the milky way and the Scutum part (as well as the Cygnus part) was still visible.
My next big adventure is the Canary Islands (La Palma) from Nov 14 to 23, where I will be shooting tons of featured scenes like this one, especially with my new Syrp tracker that I bought! Keep in tune for more!
