Views like this are under threat by the likes of Musk, whom intends to spam orbit with his 1m+ AI workload satellites, then doomed to become atmosphere-polluting space trash when they reach EOL and go into reentry.

@JulianOliver That's not photography! That's AI generated art - as pretty as it is. You would never see those stars like that from Earth with just your eyes. You would definitely never see that lit up foreground with those stars as the amounts of light is vastly different.

@lugh_clyde It's not AI generated. Do read the article. We have great views of the Milky Way here, a darksky reserve nearby me in fact. One of the world's darkest. They indeed have an excellent lens, filters, a star tracker (which moves the camera for long exposure) & timing.

It's not naked eye though, it's a photograph. Astrophotography with long exposures gives you a whole heap more colour and detail than you see unaided. Though the sky in that part of the country is pretty good, an amazing place for skygazing. Better than my small coastal city, which I understand to be itself better than most places in Europe. My own "but that's not quite right" response is calling the Remarkables the Southern Alps. I always thought of the Alps as starting at the other side of the lake. However all the marketing people tell me I am wrong
