A 360° panorama of the Milky Way and night sky taken at the south end of the Bison Compound in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada. I shot this Sept 21, 2014 on a very clear night with a faint aurora appearing to the northeast (left) and some airglow to the north (top) and south (bottom). The ground is lit solely by starlight. The Big Dipper is at top. South is at botton. The Milky Way runs from SW to NE. The faint glow of Gegenschein is visible low in the souith (bottom) at the end of the road, as a brightening in the fainter Zodiacal Band, lost amid the airglow. This is a stitch of 8 segments, each shot with the 15mm full-frame fisheye lens, for 1 minute at f/2.8 and with the Canon 6D at ISO 5000. I used PTGui to stitch the segments, with this version being a spherical fish-eye projection.
