Going out to watch the Perseids meteor shower can be very worthy as many things can happen during one night. At an altitude of 2525m and on the second highest peak of Greece, there is a chappel made to honor the human losses of the first world war called Prophet Elia. On the same evening there was a bright fireball and a double ISS passage over the mountain while the Moon was rising at the east.
The top of the temple points to the Northern Star Poraris and above it lies the winter Milky Way rising in the mornign hours of late August. The image is a composition of both tripod non moving images and images made on an equatorial mount. It was made with a cropped 1.6X DSLR camera set at ISO1600 and a fishye lens with 8mm diameter set at f/3.5.
