Tateyama is one of the snowiest places in Japan. This picture was taken at the beginning of May, but it was all snow covered. I stayed in the tent and waited for the night. Fortunately it was very fine and the Milky Way looked very beautiful. This is a panoramic photo using 12 photos. Six pictures of the Milky Way use an equatorial mount.
