Credits: Tomas SlovinskyLocation: Dark Sky Reserve Poloniny, SlovakiaDate: 9th - 13th of August 2020Category: All sky Panorama, Stacked meteorsDescription: I spent 4 nights in the darkest area in Slovakia - Poloniny National Park with the official Dark Sky Reserve. As a result of four dreamless nights from 9th to 13th of August 2020 are tens of seen meteors, thousands of stars, 148 meteors captured via all-sky cameras, and few breathtaking moments I will never forget. For capturing all this beauty I took 5.383 frames with the two identical cameras Canon 6D and lenses Samyang 12mm and 48 frames with 28mm lens for the panoramic picture. But there are more interesting things. As You can see, there's a village. What is missing? Light pollution, of course. Thanks to many villages there that turning the public lights off, we can still enjoy the dark sky in Slovak's Poloniny National Park. Now imagine, that view we could enjoy directly from all our homes. Besides that, we can see beautiful Milky Way with red-colored hydrogen nebulas, three bright planets - Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. Green and red airglow caused by atomic oxygen emission in wavelengths 557,7nm for the green color, and 630nm for red as a result of atmospheric gravity waves. Do You see a faint light in a Capricorn constellation? It's an exact opposite point of the Sun location, also called gegenschein. Such a beautiful thing! :)
