Winter sky rising, Nov. 13, 2004, with some light haze fuzzing stars naturally. Taken from home with Pentax 6x7 camera and 35mm lens for 40 minutes at f/5.6 on Fujichrome 400F slide film. A similar shot taken a few days earlier shows a brighter foreground lit by aurora which glows in the left of frame. This shot has a darker sky and black foreground.
A 360° panorama of the winter sky over Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, on February 28, 2017. The Milky Way arches across the sky from south (left) to northeast (right). The Zodiacal Light stretches up from the western horizon at centre. The Gegenschein is faintly visible above the horizon at far left in Leo. Orion is left of centre; the Pleiades sit at the tip of the Zodiacal Light pyramid of light. The ground is lit only by starlight. No artificial illumination or light painting applied. This is a stitch of 6 segments taken with the 12mm full-fame fish-eye Rokinon lens at f/2.8, all 30-second exposures with the Nikon D750 at ISO 6400. The camera was aimed portrait with the segments at 60° spacings. Stitched with PTGui using equirectangular projection with the zeith pulled down slightly.
