A "stairway to the Milky Way" can symbolize the journey to reach the stars and beyond. What if these stairs could actually exist in Mauritius ? Milky Way photography refers to the process of capturing images of the Milky Way galaxy, which is the galaxy that our solar system is a part of. This type of photography usually involves long exposure times and a camera mounted on a tripod in a dark location to minimize light pollution and allow the camera to capture as much light from the stars as possible. Photographers typically use wide-angle lenses and high ISO settings to produce stunning images of the Milky Way, often with its iconic spiral structure and bright central bulge clearly visible. To get the best results, it's important to plan your shoot during a moonless night, when the sky is the darkest. The darkest places in Mauritius is found in the south i.e. La Prairie beach and Macondé view point.
