A 360° panorama of the Milky Way and night sky taken at the Maskinonge Lake viewpoint 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 north (top) and some airglow to the east and west. The ground is lit solely by starlight. The lights are from the Park entrance gates. The Big Dipper is at top (north). Taurus and the Pleiades are rising at left (east). Sagittarius is setting at lower right (southwest). The faint glow of Gegenschein is visible to the southeast at lower left. 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.
A 360° panorama of the Milky Way and night sky taken at Cameron Lake in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada. I shot this Sept 21, 2014 on a very clear night with no noticeable aurora and very little airglow. The ground is lit solely by starlight. The lake was very calm and reflects the southern Milky Way. 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 4000. I used PTGui to stitch the segments, with this version being an equirectangular projection.
