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.
A partial panorama of the summer sky and Milky Way over the historic 76 Ranch Corral in the Frenchman Valley, in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan. The 76 Ranch was once the largest in Canada. Today, it is incorporated into the National Park. This was August 7, 2018, on a night with some haze and smoke obscuring the horizon. Mars is to the left of the Milky Way to the south in Capricornus. Saturn is embedded in the Milky Way in Sagittarius. Arcturus setting at right in the west. Some green airglow tints the sky. This crop of a 360° panorama, with the full panorama made of 26 segments: 12 in a lower tier, 8 in a mid-level tier, and 6 in an upper tier, manually positioned, and taken with the 20mm Sigma lens and Nikon D750. All exposures 30 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 6400.
