Hydrogen Sky over the Sphinx Observatory, Switzerland
I know, I know, I keep using snowy images. Next time something different.
Unlike the previous images I didn't even attempt to align the sky properly (field of view, and hence size of the features, is accurate). This is partly because I don't know which way I was facing when I took the photo, and partly because the 0.6 degree resolution of LAB data is just not good enough. The 3.5' resolution of GALFA-HI is much, much better, but that's really only useful looking due east or west. Although I suppose from a high latitude site it would span the whole horizon... hmm....
