A 360° panorama of the spring sky over the Badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, on March 29, 2019, with the winter Milky Way and constellations such as Orion setting at right, and the spring constellations such as Leo filling the sky at bottom and at left. The Big Dipper is at centre nearly overhead and Polaris is at top. South is at bottom; north at the top; west is to the right, east to the left, as in most star charts. At right is also the tapering pyramid-shaped glow of the Zodiacal Light, which continues across the sky as the Zodiacal Band and brightening at lower left just above the horizon as the Gegenschein. Urban sky glows from Brooks and Calgary mar the horizon with white and yellow glows. Mars is just below the Pleiades at right in the Zodiacal Light. This is a panorama of 12 segments taken with the 14mm Sigma Art lens and Nikon D750 in portrait orientation, all for 30 seconds at and ISO 4000. Taken at 30° spacings. Stitched with PTGui. I added a mild Orton glow effect with Luminar 3 plugin.
