Yes, although the good weather is not all night long, but the dust lanes in the milky way was clearly been seen.
As stated by Gavin, we saw the dark hourse in the milky way. It was quite surprise that the transperancy can be such good.
BTW, that night I saw the Ursa Minor and Darco and almost seen the Polaris. Pls believe it. We could get polar aligned with Polaris at Kahang some day.
Gavin, thanks for the link and it is very helpful for future weather prediction.
Kahang - brief trip report
Hi Gavin. Thanks for the Japanese web resource. Very useful. From those archives photos, it is possible to create some objective statistical analysis to answer some interesting questions like the following:
- How many clear nights are there in a year in a particular country/state shown in the photos?
- Are weekday nights generally clearer than weekends?
- Which part of the year can we expect the longest stretch of clear skies?
...etc.
