Image Details:

Taken on the night of autumnal equinox, I wanted to celibrate this big turning point in nature by spending time under the stars and capturing Zodiacal light and Winter Hexagon. Now the nights will be longer than day and I would like to wish every astrophographer and observer great time under the sky full of stars.
