The Milky Way over the East of Belgium.
This very composition had been on my list for almost 4 years. But there's multiple variables that need to be just right (time of year, no moon, clear sky, good transparancy,...) and one or multiple were always missing. Those of you who are familiar with Belgium can probably guess which one presented the most issues (clear skies).
Add in the fact that there was a gap of almost a year where I wasn't able to access the area (Covid restrictions), and it all adds up.
In any case, finally bagged the shot and pretty happy with it.
PS: after taking the shot, we spent some time watching the Perseids (was quite active). Spotted a couple of pretty good/big ones.

Re: Milky Way
A wonderfully excellent capture Jochen.
You have done well to capture this considering the recent weather-issues, which likewise here in S.E.England has prevented this particular capture, of which is also on my list to try for.
Thanks for sharing
