 Loana Valley of Italy at Night

   October 10, 2022

    #01 (9)

    Photographer:  Paolo Bardelli

   Summary Author:  Paolo Bardelli
   These photos show two different views of night sky conditions observed
   from Val Loana (Loana Valley), in the  Piedmontese Alps of northern
   Italy. Peaks at left delimit the boundary of the  Val Grande
   National Park.

   The Loana valley is also almost uninhabited, thus this is a very dark
   area at night. Despite the presence of the  quarter Moon (half
   illuminated) and  artificial lighting in the direction of the  Po
   Valley to the south, the  Milky Way is clearly visible (top view).

   However, the bottom view (looking north) shows that  light pollution
   here is still a concern even though existing laws are in place aimed to
   curb this stray light. Note the asterism of the  Big Dipper, through
   a layer of cirrus clouds, at lower left. Photos taken on the night of
   July 10, 2022.

   Photo details: Canon 6D camera; Samyang lens 14 mm; 30 seconds
   exposure; f/2.8; 6400 ISO; Photoshop processing.  Akira Fuji effect
   used to highlight constellations.
