"Milky Way glowing over the silent forest after a chilly hike. Bortle 2-3 skies, stacked exposures. Who's ready for more winter stargazing? 🌌🌲 #MilkyWay #Astrophotography #NightSky #StarryNight #MilkyWayChasers"

🇨🇭 **Version française :**
Culminant à 2002m d'altitude, le Moléson est l'un des sommets les plus emblématiques de Suisse Romande.
Situé dans les Préalpes fribourgeoises, il est réputé pour la vue magnifique qu'il offre sur les Alpes bernoises, le lac Léman et le plateau suisse. La légende raconte que l'on peut voir notre maison depuis le Moléson.
J'ai eu l'opportunité d'y passer quelques nuits dans le cadre de "la quinzaine de l'astronomie", organisé tous les ans autour du maximum des Perséides. Des astronomes amateurs montent avec leur matériel, et nous communiquons notre passion avec le public qui monte pour l'évènement.
C'est aussi une chouette occasion de rencontrer et revoir d'autres passionnés !
Après la soirée, nous descendons en téléphérique, et pouvons admirer la montagne depuis en bas. La voici surplombée de la Voie lactée.

🇬🇧 **English version:**
The Moléson (2002m) is one of the most iconic peaks in French-speaking Switzerland.
Located in the Fribourg Prealps, it's renowned for the magnificent view it offers of the Bernese Alps, Lake Leman, and the Swiss plateau. The legend says one can see their home form the Moléson.
I've had the opportunity to spend several nights there as part of the "Fortnight of stars", organized every year around the peak of the Perseids meteor shower. Amateur astronomers bring with their equipment, and we share our passion with the public who make the journey for the event.
It's also a wonderful opportunity to meet and reconnect with fellow enthusiasts!
After the evening session, we take the cable car down and can admire the mountain from below. Here it is, topped by the Milky Way.

The reason I don't always bother setting up my camera too close to another photographer when shooting the Milky Way. You never know when they decide to switch on their light to check on something or the other giving out a rather uniquely coloured aurora feel to the frame ;-) Swipe left to see where I was shooting the Milky Way when this happened ... #photography #landscape #astrophotography #milkywaychasers #pacificNorthWest

This was the only night we had clear skies so I was able to capture the Milky Way. Quite a bit of air glow that night. #milkyway #milkywaychasers #milkywayphoto #olympicnationalpark #beach #night #stars #nightskyphotography #nightsky

Look up to the sky...
The Triangulum Galaxy, also called M33, is one of our Milky Way's closest neighbors, located about 3 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum. It's smaller and less massive than both the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. M33 has beautiful spiral arms and lots of young, hot stars.

Truly one of my favourite spots to shoot the milky way: Pico Bejenado with the Aridane-Valley in front… To hike there at night is a simply outstanding experience.

"The River of Time"

The Milky Way rises above the Colorado River at Dead Horse Point State Park outside of Moab, Utah.

This is my very first stacked Milky Way shot. Following the end of grad school I beelined to Dead Horse Point State Park with this image being the sole purpose of my trip, and it was well worth the planning and waiting!
