entry description
I went to this castle last year on the night of the 11th of August. So I was hoping to catch some Perseid-Meteors. I arrived at blue hour and there were already about 20 other photographers out there. In took the shot for the foreground in the blue-hour and waited for the night to roll in. As the night was creeping in, I set up my Star-Tracker and tracked the shots for the milkyway. Unfortunately the altitude of the milkyway-core wasn´t high enough to see it completely. I got one meteor from the whole session I think but the one I got, the focus wasn´t on point, so I basicially got none. All of the sudden as I was finished sooting, my light-pollution-filter fell down and broke into 1000 pieces. But because my cup is always half-full, I could just laugh at it because I looked so funny. And never the less it was such an awesome night. I could chat with all the other astrophotographers and I had an awesome time under the stars once again. Some much more awesome memories to think of! I also like the picture I got from it.EXIF:
