Perseids 2003 by SARM


Here are some pictures from the Perseids 2003 Astronomy Camps organized by SARM
at Corbasca (Bacau, 15-26 July 2003), Cindrel Mountains (Sibiu, 2-13 August)
and Varful Piatra Goala (Maramures, Sighetu Marmatiei, 5-12 August).

For best viewing it is recommended to set the brightness and contrast at the same level
and the colors also equally balanced. Enjoy!
