Image Details:

This shot through Milkyway at a dense area with stars and dust, centered on M57.
It came out brilliant if I may say so.

This 35mm F1.8 lens is not bad at all.

I like to watch images like this and think about the fact that most of these stars - hundreds of thousands of them in this image alone - have solarsystems of their own.

Are we alone? I seriously doubt it. Behold the beauty of Creation.
