Simple Seorak starscapes

I lugged more photo and astro gear than I needed to the beach last week. The idea has just about sunken in that just because a place is designated as a national park or a resort area, it doesn't mean that it will be neon-, floodlight-, traffic- or crowd-free.

Sinai spoiled me.

South Korea is 70% mountains with a population of 55 million. So where there's flat space, you'll find people. And at night, those people will most likely have lights.



Still, with the East Sea so close, there was something like dark sky to be seen beyond and above the tent.
