I am a lucky man. I own a motorhome and and retired. I can go on long trips. Our most recent one has been 3800 miles to Dubrovnik and back. France, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. From alpine pastures and glacial landscapes to karst scenery and dalmation coastal geomorphology. You can tell I was a geography teacher can't you!
Perfect nights are usually rare things on such trips. Campsite light pollution, late arriving motorhomes, city light pollution, cloudy nights, full moons, fog, woodland sites, roaming bears and wolves. So much to contend with. And then some of the best dark sky sites are high up, along windy narrow roads that are tricky to drive in 4T motorhome!
Below are some images from Rovinji on the coast, a pretty peninsula town in Istria, Croatia. On this night it was a bright full moon, a starkly lit promenade, a tree covered campsite, a neon lit town on a hill. So these are by no means good images.
Capture details - canon 800D DSLR, samyang 14mm F/2.8 lens, intervalometer, carbon fibre tripod. ISO 400, 11" x 30 images. everything stacked in Sequator.
