The arc of the Northern Lights and auroral oval over Crawling Lake, Alberta, as well as the arch of the summer Milky Way, in a 360° panorama, on the night of June 24/25, 2017. The location was on the causeway on the dam at the south end of the reservoir/lake. The sky is blue from the glow of all-night perpertual twilight at this time of year near solstice. Arcturus and the Big Dipper are at left, with Jupiter just setting amid the clouds at far left. Polaris is just left of the peak of the auroral arc which is centred slightly east of north from my longitude. The Summer Triangle stars are at right over the roadway. The galactic centre is above the south horizon at far right. Saturn is amid the Dark Horse in the Milky Way at far right, low above the horizon. This is a stitch of 8 segments with the 14mm Rokinon SP lens, mounted vertically, each 30 seconds at and ISO 3200 with the Canon 6D. Panning and shooting was done automatically with the SYRP Mini Genie in its panorama mode. Stitched with PTGui.
