Orion Setting & Scorpius Rising Panorama.jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
A 360° horizon panorama of the grounds at the OzSky Star Party, April 2017, showing Orion setting at right of centre while Scorpius rises at left of centre, disproving the story that the two mortal enemies of mythology are never seen together in the sky at the same time. But from the southern hemisphere in austral autumn they are.

Jupiter and the glow of Gegenschein are at far left. The Dark Emu is rising at left. The Large Magellanic Cloud is at centre.

This is a stitch of 8 segments, with the Rokinon 14mm lens at f/2.5 for 25 seconds, in landscape orientation (so the view does not go up to the zenith) and Canon 6D at ISO 6400. Stitched with PTGui.
