A 360° panorama of the OzSky star party, April 4, 2016, at Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia, showing the arch of the southern Milky Way, from Sagittarius rising at left, to Canis Major setting at right. At top, the bright object is Jupiter, here in thin cloud, with the diffuse glow of the Gegenschein at upper centre opposite the Sun. Some clouds are moving in from the west. South is above the trailer; east to the left side, west to the right side with Jupiter almost due north at its highest here. The Southern Cross is at its highest due south. The Dark Emu stretches from the Cross down into Sagittarius. The Large Magellanic Cloud is just above the tree at lower right. This is a stitch of 8 panels, each with the 14mm Rokinon lens at and mounted vertical in portrait orientation. Each exposure was minutes at ISO 3200 with the Canon 5D MkII, with the camera tracking the sky on the iOptron Sky Tracker. Stitched with PTGui software with spherical projection.
