EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing fish-eye lens view of the northern winter sky on a chilly February night in 2013. The partially hazy atmosphere adds an ethereal touch, with wisps of clouds reflecting the glow of sodium vapor highway and street lights, creating subtle light pollution. Against this backdrop, the Zodiacal Light emerges from the west, stretching across the entire sky to form the Gegenschein - a delicate bright patch nestled below center-left in Cancer and Leo. Intriguingly, silhouetted against the distant sky glow at right is a telescope capturing close-up shots of Orion, one of the most recognizable constellations. The vastness of space unfolds as we witness not only Orion but also other celestial wonders like Sirius, Procyon, Pollux, Capella, Rigel, Aldebaran - all shining brilliantly amidst interstellar clouds and cosmic dust. The absence of people allows us to fully immerse ourselves in this awe-inspiring nightscape that showcases our galaxy's majestic beauty. With its clear skies and idyllic atmosphere, this photograph evokes a sense of wonderment and tranquility. Alan Dyer's skillful astrophotography transports us into an atmospheric mood where stars twinkle above like tiny jewels scattered across a spherical canvas. This image serves as a reminder that even within our bustling world filled with light pollution and distractions lies an enchanting universe waiting to be explored – if only we take time to look up.
