The Big Dipper is almost completely masked by the tower of the semaphore. Its two stars on the right are pointing toward the star Polaris, at the vertical of the antenna. Higher, our eye cross the Milky Way near the zenith. Then, descending toward the South, we can see the Great Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy. Pointe du Raz, Brittany, 27 september 2008.
