A 360° panorama taken at the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory on August 30, 2014 at one of the annual Milky Way Nights, a public stargazing session which, this night, attracted about 400 people. The Observatory is just southwest of the city do the city lights illuminate the northern sky to the left behind the 16-inch Dome. The Milky Way arches overhead and to the south at right. People gather on the plaza to look through portable telescopes set up by members of the Calgary Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Blurred people also line up to go inside and look though the large observatory telescopes. Other people lie back on the lawn to gaze skyward. This is an 8-segment panorama with the 15mm full-frame fisheye lens at f/3.2 for 30 seconds each at ISO 1600. Stitched with PTGui.
