A 360° panorama of the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party, August 4, 2016, at the Meadows Campground in Cypress Hills Inter-Provincial Park, south of Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. The Park is a Dark Sky Preserve and is home to the annual star party that attracts about 300 people and telescopes each summer.

A aurora is at left to the north while the Milky Way arches overhead from northeast to southwest, with the galactic centre in Sagittarius at right. Saturn and Mars are setting to the right of the Milky Way in Scorpius. The Big Dipper is at far left. Some faint bands of airglow are in the south at right. The Andromeda Galaxy is just left of centre.

This is a 21-panel (3 tiers of 7 segments each) panorama shot with the iOptron iPano and stitched with PTGui. Each segment was 30 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 6400.
