      Explanation: Careful planning made this a nightscape to remember.   
      First, the night itself was chosen to occur during the beginning of   
      this year's Perseid Meteor Shower. Next, the time of night was chosen   
      to be before the bright Moon would rise and dominate the night sky's   
      brightness. The picturesque foreground was selected to be a rocky beach   
      of the Mediterranean Sea in Le Dramont, France, with, at the time, +«le   
      dCÇÖOr island situated near the ominously descending central band of our   
      Milky Way Galaxy. Once everything was set and with the weather   
      cooperating, all of the frames for this seemingly surreal nightscape   
      were acquired within 15 minutes. What you can't see is that, on this   
      night, the astrophotographer brought along his father who, although   
      unskilled in modern sky-capture techniques, once made it a point to   
      teach his child about the sky.
