Sea of Clouds and Zodiacal Light

Panorama taken at Pic de Chateau Renard near the St Veran observatory. The sea of clouds formed around 4 a.m., it remained in the valley further below. A rich celestial activity overlooks it: a discreet green airglow on the left of the panorama and a subtle zodiacal light on the right emerges from the horizon. Venus, the brightest point in the image, is just rising. As dawn approaches, dozens of satellites are illuminated and are present in the image.
