Night Sky and Astro

Night sky opens up a deep and different world - stars, galaxies, planets, moon, accompanied by the sound of crickets. Unfortunately, most people don't give a damn about these things today. Also, most of the photos I've put in this gallery taken before 2020 are not possible to retake at the same location. Why? Because of ever-increasing light pollution, which is also said to be a main reason behind insomnia, sleep issues, and other imbalances.
