Milkyway visible in Sola very late night

With the end of summer, comes the longer nights. With it dark night delights start to come enevelope us again ... one of the first would be starry sky, Milkyway and Aurora. Most anticipated for the month of August would be the Milkyway.

Norway being way up north does not experience Milkyway peak in Jun/July like every other locations at the lower latitudes ... Jun/July is the longest day of the year in the middle of the summer. There's barely any nights during those periods.

I have recorded Milkyway towards the end of April/May heading towards Spring but the night were fairly bright and the Milkyway isnt as intense as they are in Aug/Sep slightly off peak as far as the Milkyway season goes but still significant for northern latitudes.

There are indeed many delights to be expected in darkening nights come August.
