[QUOTE=scorpinat;30965341]why have i never seen such clear sky[/QUOTE] pollution of some sort?

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;30965835]pollution of some sort?[/QUOTE] Light pollution.
[QUOTE=Em See;30966511]Light pollution.[/QUOTE] Even without light pollution you won't see that. It looks that way because the shutter is open so long for each frame.
If I could see a sky like that in my life, I would cry But I can't, BECAUSE I'M NOT A CAMERA
You can get somewhat close to this with the naked eye, if you go camping in a spot with very low light pollution, and very clear skies (say, for example, some places in Arizona and Nevada). Sleep outside the tent, and then wake up after your eyes have adjusted. It almost hurts to look up at the sky because the stars seem so bright.
[QUOTE=scorpinat;30965341]why have i never seen such clear sky[/QUOTE] Just go to the country side on a clear night, and you'll catch a slight glimpse of it.
[QUOTE=Desolategrunt;30972957]If I could see a sky like that in my life, I would cry But I can't, BECAUSE I'M NOT A CAMERA[/QUOTE] I can't wait for augmented eyeballs.
[QUOTE=Latency;30969814]Even without light pollution you won't see that. It looks that way because the shutter is open so long for each frame.[/QUOTE] At sea level, that's true. But on a mountain top with clear skies and absolutely no lights, you can see exactly this, and it is amazing to see.
[QUOTE=Billiam;30977206]I can't wait for augmented eyeballs.[/QUOTE] Well if you're getting eyeballs with minute long exposure times you're going to have to sit awfully still, mate.
[QUOTE=Thy Reaper;30982705]At sea level, that's true. But on a mountain top with clear skies and absolutely no lights, you can see exactly this, and it is amazing to see.[/QUOTE] Are you sure?
I'd love to see this one day.
