More milky way goodness at under lovely darks skies at the RAAF Boab Quarry rest area
Devonian Skies
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
In comparison to the vertical panorama’s I posted previously this is a wide horizontal panorama encompassing the entire milky way arch
As the milky way was quite high in the sky (almost vertical overhead) I had to shoot this as a multi row panorama
This one is also a full 360˚ wide (so technically in the real world the left and right sides of the image join up (forming a cylinder))
This is taken as eight (8) vertical orientation exposures facing straight out, then another 8 with the camera angled upwards at 45˚ and then a single exposure pointing straight up. Then all those frames are stitched into the result you see here
