A 180° panorama from the first of the Vermilion Lakes, on October 2, 2016. The view is looking east, at left, to the Banff townsite and Mount Rundle, and to the south, at centre, toward Sulphur Mountain, and to the southwest, at right, toward the Milky Way over the Sundance Range. Light pollution from Banff lights the sky at left, while green bands of natural airglow colour the sky right of centre. This is a panorama of 6 segments, with the Sigma 20mm lens at f/2.2 for 20 seconds each, with the Nikon D750 at ISO 6400.
