Aissa Mohamed Oumoussa Startrial over the coastal beach Algeria
A Venustrail! Few days before the Perseids shower, here a nice startrail taken from the Azefroun beach in Tizi Ouzou (on the Algerian Mediterranean coast) by Aissa Oumoussa from Anghem El-Hayet. One hour exposure photo with a Canon 5D MKII, ISO 125 open at F/3.5. The bright streak is Venus.
