A 180° panorama of the public stargazing session at the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory south of Calgary, Alberta, on July 26, 2019, one of a trio of Milky Way Nights this week. About 600 people attended on this perfect summer night, with many telescopes supplied by members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Calgary Centre, providing excellent views of lots of celestial objects. This is a stitch of 8 segments, all 8 second exposures at f/2.8 with the 35mm lens, and Canon 6D at ISO 1600. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
