Ke Ga among one of the best locations for Astrophotography in Vietnam

06 May, 2016 Mui Ne, Mui ne Travel 1465

According to Kim Ngo a young photographer who took these photos, some of the best places to see the Milky Way include Tan Thanh Beach in the southern province of Tien Giang’s Go Cong Town, Ke Ga Lighthouse in the south-central province of Binh Thuan’s La Gi Town, and the wharf in the southern province of Dong Nai’s Tri An Lake.

The ideal spots to enjoy the star system are remote areas free from light pollution that can influence and blur the light of the Milky Way.

The Milky Way is best seen from March until the end of summer in central Vietnam and on days without rain and clouds in the country’s southern and northern regions.

It often appears in the southeast at around 2:00 to 3:00 in the morning and can be seen with bare eyes.

One way to find out its position is finding Sagittarius because the core of the Milky Way is approximately lined up with that constellation.

There is also a smartphone app, Stellarium, which will show users when and where the Milky Way appears.
