Winter Sky Panorama (Spherical Fish-Eye).jpg

A 360° fish-eye panorama of the northern hemisphere winter sky and Milky Way, from Puppis at bottom, to Perseus at top, with Orion and Taurus at lower centre. Canopus is just above the horizon at bottom. The Milky Way is marked with many dark clouds of interstellar dust, especially in Taurus at left of centre.

A very faint trace of the Zodiacal Band is at left.

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 Spherical Fish-Eye projection to create the round fish-eye framing.
