I like it Peter, and, as Rog says, we don't get to see this one much, in fact, this is the first time for me.

Thats still fantatsic!!!! You must have DARK skies then?

[Petervde]

In Belgium there is no such thing as a dark sky

The best skies can be found in the south of Belgium, in a region that we call the Ardennes. This is where the image was made. At that moment, the limiting visual magnitude was 5.6-5.7.
