Really clear milky way will bring millions stars, especially to the camera sensor. Here a couple of weeks ago in northern Finland.

30 sec. f 2,8 24mm

Not millions but only a few thousands stars we are able to see.

I was interested in a news story recently. The International Dark Sky Association has awarded its protected status to Exmoor, which is a very rural area in southwest England. It is only the second place in the world to be awarded this, after an area in Quebec.
The status imposes restrictions on power and direction of artificial lighting to protect the night sky.

The trouble is in England the sky is so often cloudy. I'm sure northern Finland is the real place for sky-watching! Smile

Great shots! In your second photo you have captured the Hyades and Plaiedes star clusters and that bright 'star' at the right of the photo is Jupiter! Smile

Very little in northern Finland is light pollution. That's at the bottom of the light comes from the neighboring house a couple of kilometers away. The weather was the best shooting just after the rain.
