A 360° panorama of the evening twilight sky in winter, on February 28, 2017. The Milky Way is beginning to appear and the Zodiacal Light is at centre in the west. Clouds lit by light pollution colour the sky. The crescent Moon, here overexposed, shines below bright Venus, with Mars much fainter to the left of Venus. Orion stands to the south at left of centre, partly in clouds. Numerous satellite trails appear in the blue twilight sky. Leo is rising at far left; the Big Dipper is at far right.

This is a stitch of 10 segments, each 25 seconds at f/2.8 with the 20mm Sigma Art lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 3200. Stitched with PTGui. Camera Raw did the job but did not allow for positioning the scene to put what I wanted at the centre. The original is 26,000 x 4,300 pixels. Taken from the Trail of the Fossil Hunters.
