The winter Milky Way arches above the Slovakian peak of Veľký Manín as low clouds trap artificial light in the valley at right. (For comparison, see this similar panorama taken on a cloudless night.) This panorama was taken with an astromodified Canon DSLR and 24mm lens; the photographer took 15-second exposures at f/2.5 and ISO 3200.
