A trip to the "Star Park" at Attersee - Traunsee / Upper Austria

Yesterday night Stefan and I visited the "Star Park" at the Attersee lake here It is called like that because there is only very few artificial light and taking pictures of stars is a little bit easier there on this spot than on others. Since there is a lot of light pollution near Cities and Villages there are only a few spots here that are eligable for taking pictures of Stars and the Milky way. But I am very thankfull that there are still spots like these available.

The next thing that worries me a bit is the pollution that is produced by sattelites like Elon Musks "Starlink" or "Amazon Kuiper" and these will grow in the next years. I hope I will still be able to do some pictures like these in the future and I need to find a way to render out the stripes with a software or that there is an artificial intelligence that does this automatically. On the second Image you can easily spot some of the stripes that are produced by sattelites, but also on the others they are already visible.

But we will see how artificial intelligence is changing the photography industry in general, this will be shown in the near future.
