Thanks to electronic magic, it was possible to get this image which was about a three-second exposure. Actually, it was many exposures taken over three seconds, stablized and stacked together automatically by the cell phone. Auriga, the charioteer, is partly veiled by the cloud in the center of the image and an upside down “V” on the upper right image markes the head of the bull in the constellation Taurus. So, which is more amazing, the stars or the veil?
