That is beautiful. I've seen the Milkyway a few times here in the UK, but it's rare to see it with the clouds and street lights, though not
impossible.
I'd love to be able to afford one of those cameras and have a go at getting some shots like this myself. Guess I'll have to start saving up

But my take on it is there calendar is very accurate, and there long cycle which ends 21 / 12 / 2012 is based on a different observation of the stars.
And not the one critics are seem to be criticizing.
Maybe there calculations are made from these sort of rare views.

Just a thought

My take on the 2012 thing is that people who say it's the 'end of the world' or whatever are simply failing to realise that it's just the end of
the Mayan long
cycle. And that a cycle, once it gets to it's end, usually starts again from the beginning, in exactly the same way as when we
get to the end of the year, we start a new year on January 1st. To me, 2012 is the end of this current cycle and the beginning of the next long cycle.
Nothing to worry about at all.
