Date & place   September 27, 2008, Pointe du Raz
A the end of September, at the end of the night, the East horizon is displaying a faint, fuzzy and tilted glow: it's the zodiacal light formed by the dust near the Sun along the plan of the Solar System. It extends to about 40° of elevation.
In this 180° panorama, the zodiacal light is easily visible despite the glow of the city of Audierne, crossing the Milky Way.
