Visibility III / V

Teppo Laitinen, Keski-Uudenmaan Altair

For comparison, I photographed objects in Lapland that I have taken pictures at home in southern Finland. In this picture, 18X45sec is stacked. without equalization images, etc.

The difference is big. It is not always realized how much light pollution is at home in the country in the pleasant darkness.
