This vertical panorama takes in the nebula-rich northern winter Milky Way over the formations of Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, from the Fairyland Canyon viewpoint.

Orion is right of centre, surrounded by the red arc of Barnard's Loop, and with the round Angelfish Nebula above the main stars of Orion in his "head."
- Below the Belt stars of Orion is the bright Orion Nebula.
- Below centre is the small round Rosette Nebula with a larger more diffuse area of nebulosity to the left around the Christmas Tree Cluster, all in Monoceros.
- Above centre near the blue Pleiades cluster in Taurus is the magenta streak of the California Nebula in Perseus.
- Below it are smaller nebulas, including the Flaming Star, in Auriga.
- At the extreme top left corner are the Heart and Soul Nebulas in Cassiopeia.
- At bottom, just rising next to the bright star Sirius, is the Seagull Nebula.

The bright object at centre is Jupiter, then in Taurus. Below left is reddish Mars, then in Gemini.

Above Jupiter are the large tendrils of the Taurus Dark or Molecular Clouds.

While the sky was dark it was rich in bands of natural airglow, tinting the sky red, green and with some yellow at bottom. Also visible, faintly, is the Zodiacal Band stretching across the frame from lower left to upper right, intersecting the Milky Way near Jupiter.

The waning Moon was below the horizon or just rising for the sky segments, but was up for the ground segment images taken at the end of the series, with the timing planned so that the low Moon would illuminate the ground with its warm light. Taken on the morning of September 28, 2024, before shooting Comet C/2023 A3 at dawn.

Technical:
This is a vertical panorama of six segments:
- five for the sky, each a stack of 5 x 1-minute exposures at f/2,
- and one segment for the ground which is a stack of 3 x 4-minute exposures at f/2.8.
- All with the Canon RF28-70mm lens at 28mm, with the astro-modified Canon R at ISO 1600 for the sky and ISO 800 f
