A 360° panorama of the Milky Way and night sky taken at the Maskinonge Lake viewpoint in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada. I shot this Sept 21, 2014 on a very clear night with a faint aurora appearing to the north (right of centre) and some airglow to the east and west. The ground is lit solely by starlight. The lights are from the Park entrance gates. The Big Dipper is at centre. Taurus and the Pleiades are rising at right. Sagittarius is setting at left.

This is a stitch of 8 segments, each shot with the 15mm full-frame fisheye lens, for 1 minute at f/2.8 and with the Canon 6D at ISO 5000. I used PTGui to stitch the segments, with this version being an equirectangular projection.
