Sunrise from home in Alberta January 1997 28mm lens Minimal processing to image
A 270° panorama of the setting Sun and waxing gibbous Moon over Western Port bay at Cowes on Philip Island near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The Sun is setting slightly north of due west, while the 9-day-old Moon sits in the northeast, at an angle of about 110° away from the Sun. This is a stitch of 15 panels taken with the 35mm lens oriented portait, and the Canon 6D camera. Stitched with PTGui with a lot of manual point registration required due to the lack of land area over many segments to align to.
This is a panorama of the evening sky on March 25, 2020, with brilliant Venus high in the west at centre just after the date (March 24) of its greatest elongation in the evening sky for 2020. It appears here about as high as it can get with the ecliptic tipped up to a high angle in spring. To the left is Orion and the winter stars in the twilight, including Sirius at far left. Just above the horizon right of centre in the bright twilight is the day-old thin crescent Moon about to set. Above Venus are the Pleiades and Hyades star clusters. This is a panorama of 5 segments with the Nikon D750 and 24mm Sigma lens, stitched with PTGui. Each segment was 8 seconds at ISO 400 and f/2.8.
