At the end of September, at the end of the night, the East horizon is displaying a faint, fuzzy and tilted glow: it's the zodiacal light formed by the dust near the Sun along the plan of the Solar System. It extends to about 40° of elevation. In this 180° panorama, the zodiacal light is easily visible despite the glow of the city of Audierne, crossing the Milky Way.Brittany, 27 september 2008.
