Astrophotography in Namibia

I spend nine nights, some 180 km southeast of Windhoek in Namibia, in september 2009. The last three nights were outstanding in transparency and darkness. The Zodical Light was "The Light Pollution"! Various lenses were used in front of my DSLR Canon 350D camera. During nights, the temperature could plummet to some -C degrees outdoor.  In the afternoon it could climb to +36 C. The very dry air made this temperaturespan unnoticed, had you not have access to a temperature gauge.

	The Milky Way and Zodiacal Light ("The Light Pollution!") in the early nights.
	The Lagoon nebula (M8) in all its splendor.
	The Gegenschein was an easy task to spot walking over the night sky at the antisolar point. Jupiter is seen in the middle.
	Large Mangellanic Cloud was a spectacular object to watch and catch.
