Winter sky over the mountains – Low Tatras, Slovakia. “Although the winter portion of the Milky Way is much weaker than the summer portion, it’s still full of beautiful features that also deserve attention. This part of the Galaxy contains many bright stars, particularly those of the Winter Hexagon asterism. Galactic arms are full of hydrogen-alpha nebulae: objects almost always invisible to the naked eye, but totally visible with an astro-modified camera. The arc of our galaxy is stretching above the Low Tatras mountains in Slovakia, where the temperatures dropped below –14C that night”.
