A 360 degree panorama on the top of a hill at the foot of Mt. Kuju. It was a beautiful sunset that evening, and I stayed through the night to photograph the Pleiades, or Subaru in Japanese, along with a time lapse of the stars rising in the east over Mt. Kuju. I was hoping to capture a few meteors, but only one was caught on the edge of a frame. I saw one beautiful fireball with a persistent train! All in all, it was a memorable night for me.
Below is the location on Google Maps.

It’s so nice to see nature, without humanities encroachment. Great job, Tom! Loved it🌈💕

Yes! Pretty dark skies there at night, at Bortle class 3. About a two hour drive from my home.
