Description

I went to Crete on holiday, and took one evening for astrophotography. This is taken from an area in the South of the island near Dhrimiskos , which is a Bortle 2 on Light Pollution map, but from the number of LED flood lit properties dotted around I am sure is more than that now. Still much better stars than I get at home, and this is an area of the sky that is too far South for me to see from home in any event.

This is 800 x 4s exposures on a tripod with a 50mm camera lens and an unmodified DSLR.
