Stars and Planets over Portugal
The mission was to document night-flying birds, but it ended up also documenting a beautiful sky. This wide-angle mosaic was taken over the steppe golden fields in Mértola, Portugal in 2020.

The planet Mars appeared on the far left, while the planets Saturn and Jupiter were also visible.
