ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY, NIGHT, SKY

The Perseids above the Gotthard Pass, Switzerland, 2013.

I reached the tears of Saint Lawrence
Up there on Gotthard pass.

They guided me white and shiny above the road
I drove, a black ribbon between stones and sky.

Up there, in the darkness of the Alps
the tears of Saint Lawrence became mine.

Star Trek quote apart, give a look to the pictures I shot on Brienzersee in a wonderful hot and dark night, two rare conditions in most of middle Europe. Even more exceptional, I had my sturdy Manfrotto tripod along!

ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY

How bigger than usual was the big perigee moon 2013?

artborghi-epigean-moon2013

363,300 km far above … you have probably already watched hundreds of pictures representing the “14% bigger than usual” perigee moon. I could shoot this big moon with the same lens and camera used for a normal, average sized moon (384,400 km far away).
