A 360° panorama and more than 100° from the ground to the zenith, taken at the Riverwalk picnic area in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, August 25, 2014. Sagittarius is at left, where the Milky Way is setting, while Perseus, Auriga and the Pleiades are at right where the Milky Way is rising. The green bands are from airglow not aurora. I used the 14mm Rokinon lens in portrait mode for a set of 8 segments, each 60 seconds at ISO 4000 and f/2.8 wih the Canon 6D. The tipi is a modern store-bought tipi not an authentic family-owned First Nations tipi.
A 360° panorama of the Table Mountain Star Party, July 25, 2014, held at the Eden Valley Guest Ranch in northern Washington state. It shows the Milky Way arching overhead (zenith is at the centre), and bands of airglow streaming out of the east at left. Southwest is at the bottom where the bright centre of the Galaxy area meets the horizon. The Big Dipper is at the right of the frame. This is an 8-section panorama, with each section shot with a 14mm Rokinon lens in portrait format, at f/2.8 and Canon 5D Mark II at ISO 6400 for 45 seconds each, untracked. Assembled in PTGui using Stereographic Down projection.
