A 360° degree fish-eye panorama of the Milky Way with the Galactic Centre overhead and the spiral arms of the Galaxy symmetrically displayed to either
A 360° degree fish-eye panorama of the Milky Way with the Galactic Centre overhead and the spiral arms of the Galaxy symmetrically displayed to either side of the core: toward Scutum, Aquila, and Cygnus at left; and toward Norma, Centaurus, and Carina at right. This is from near Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia at at latitide of 32° South. Scorpius and Antares are overhead at the zenith. The Dark Emu is visible across the sky, from his head in Crux at right, to his tail in Scutum at left. Jupiter is the bright object in the west at top. The glow of Gegenschein is below it. The view is with southeast to the bottom to place the plane of the Galaxy horizontally across the frame. Some airglow discolours the sky at left. This is a stitch of 8 segments, each a 1-minute exposure with the 14mm lens at and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 3200. The camera was on a tracker, the iOptron Sky-Tracker, so the stars are not trailed. Stitched with PTGui.
