Description:

I had three wonderful nights of observing at Hacienda Los Andes and, at the end of each night, was treated to the zodiacal light easily visible in the east. On the last night, I resolved to capture it. This is the best of the lot, in which the three planets, Venus, Saturn and Mars are rising above the Andean pre-cordillera, enmeshed in the zodiacal light, which is tracing up to the center of the Milky Way high in the east.
