This photo is taken by my friend Pekka Sakki with his excellent experience as you can easily see.

During the night the photo was taken clouds disturbed us all the time. However, in this image the cloud system above the horizon gives a very nice impression to this photo.

On the right part of the photo, about one fourth from the right edge towards the left edge and just under the middle line of the photo a foggy area with a little bit brighter nucleus can be seen. This is the same object as in my last photo, namely Andromeda Galaxy (M31). The Galaxy is about 2.2 million light years from the Earth and is the most distant object which can be seen with the naked eye. The Galaxy includes at least about a thousand of millions of stars.
