Panorama of northern spring sky, taken from home at latitude of +51° N, April 10, 2004. Taken with 35mm full-frame fish-eye lens on Pentax 6x7 camera, at f/5, Fujichrome 400F slide film, and 35 minute exposure. Glow layer added to emphasize bright stars. Jupiter is brghtest object, in Leo at centre right. Meteor at upper left is a bonus. Stars at top of frame are a bit sharper in this one, vs #3 pan but #3 taken later is better framed. #1 Pan was taken earlier and shows spring stuff rising in east -- #2 and #3 show stuff more due south. Zodiacal band faintly visible from Jupiter down to Spica as blue band.
