Holding Back the Dawn
By Richard S. Wright Jr.
http://www.eveningshow.com

Stars and the Milky Way are straining to be seen or photographed against the slowly brightening sky of early morning twilight. Shot near a state park in Okeechobee Florida, true dawn was to the left as you are looking south in this image at the heart of the Milky Way. This 25 second exposure with a wide angle lens shows the strong orange glow from light pollution from the city of Okeechobee several miles away causing a false dawn to the south.

M83 is one of the skies finest face on spirals and is a favourite autumn object for southern hemisphere viewers.
The two adjacent and likely very similar sized but much more distant spiral galaxies provide a sobering sense of scale.
