Explanation:
Careful planning made this a nightscape to remember.
First, the night itself was chosen to occur during the beginning of this year's
Perseid
Meteor Shower.
Next, the time of night was chosen to be before the
bright Moon would rise and
dominate the
night sky's brightness.
The picturesque foreground was selected to be a rocky beach of the
Mediterranean Sea in
Le Dramont,
France, with, at the time,
cle dBOr
island
situated near the ominously descending central band of our
Milky Way
Galaxy.
Once everything was set and with the weather cooperating, all of the frames for
this seemingly surreal nightscape were acquired within 15 minutes.
What you can't see is that, on this night,
the astrophotographer brought along his father who,
although unskilled in modern sky-capture techniques,
once made it a point to
teach his child about the sky.
