After disastrous scouting for new locations, I ended up visiting my well-known location across the Island of Hydra. Despite the dusty atmosphere and the high humidity, I tried to capture a panoramic image of this beautiful seaside place. When I arrived at this location I wasn't alone, thankfully there was a couple, Noah and Nina, with their Shorty (the dog) and their camper van. It was nice to meet them and enjoy the night sky.
I decided to capture the big view, to go with the wide-angle lens and capture the whole milky way arch and the amazing landscape. In the first place, I took a series of vertical images without using any filter in front of the lens. The result wasn't that bad, although I wanted to use the diffuser filter, just to see the difference and if it's any better. And then, the magic happened! The effect on the image was so so pleasing to my eyes, I couldn't believe how much I liked this result.
Unfortunately, this effect wasn't the only one that I noticed last night; the most obvious and distracting effect was the light pollution. Especially the left part of the image is almost unusable because of the heavy lighting from the cities in the distance.

Captured using a Nikon D750 and a Nikkor 20mm f1.8G lens on a Vixen Polarie star tracker on a steady Banro tripod.
