This is the kind of view one could get used to after a long stargazing session that concluded with a sunrise.

More DSOs than I can count, plenty of bright meteors with persistent trails, and even grabbed M42 which is rather early in the season. That bright star in the top right is Rigel.

The &Beyond lodge on Benguerra Island in Mozambique. Latitude is -22 so Saturn crosses the Meridian at the Zenith. Light pollution maps classify as a Bortle 2 sky but it is only just missing being a class 1 by 0.01 (21.99 va 22) on the SQM reading. So it is rather good for a spot of astronomy.
