Zodiacal Light

Thanks, Carolyn (if I may). But not much for the excitement that supposes I should catch the ZL in original shots CLEARLY, not a faint trace after processing. It's an embarrassment at least. I read online and there is an intense discussion about how should Stellarium revise and set different darkness defaults for ZL and MW. It resolves the show-MW and no-show-ZL puzzle in my check-up with Stellarium. I believe it needs high darkness to see and catch ZL.

I had X-ray and MRI done on my right knee. Go see an Orthopedic on Thursday. Hope to receive treatment and start recovery soon. Meantime, eager to see your shot.

I played with Stellarium a bit again. Found this surprising scene in the southwest sky at around 8:30 PM. It's not the MW (in the southeast at around 4:00 AM), but probably another farther-fainter galaxy. I wonder if anyone had captured before or even it's uncapturable?

Good Luck with your recovery.
