A 360° panorama of the Milky Way and night sky taken at the Prince of Wales Hotel 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 (behind the hotel). The panorama documents the extent of lighting in the area. The Hotel itself was closed and so was dark. Taurus and the Pleiades are rising at right. At left is the faint glow of Gegenschein amid the Zodiacal Band across the dim area of the autumn sky.

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.
