Stars at Chagar Hutang

Click on it for a larger view.

Chagar Hutang, an isolated turtle sanctuary at the northern part of Redang island is an ideal place for stargazing as there is no light pollution. On the moonless and cloudless night, the stars shine brightly, satellites and meteors flash across the sky.

I did a 8 minute exposure of the sky. The picture above is the result after noise removal. The stars became streaks of lights across the sky with their unique colours.

p/s. Expect further entries on my recent participation of SEATRU's sea turtle conservation program at Chagar Hutang beach, Redang.
