Winter Sky Panorama (Full Frame Fish-Eye).jpg
A 270° panorama of the northern hemisphere winter Milky Way, from Puppis at left, to Perseus at right, with Orion and Taurus at centre. Canopus is just above the horizon at left of centre. The Milky Way is marked with many dark clouds of interstellar dust, especially in Taurus at centre.
I shot this from the Quailway Cottage in southeastern Arizona at a latitude of 31° N. on December 12, 2017. It is a stitch of 8 segments, each with the 14mm Rokinon SP lens at f/2.5 and modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 6400, for 45 seconds each. The camera was oriented portrait. Stitching was with PTGui, using the Full-Frame Fish-eye projection to avoid distortion to the sky overhead, but creating the “wrap-around” effect at the sides.
