Outer Milky Way Panorama

[Knight of Clear Skies]

A panoramic image from last night covering nearly 180 degrees of the outer Milky Way. 6D and Samyang 14mm f2.8, stitched together in Microsoft ICE. Each pane is a stack of five 20 second exposures.

Also made an annotated version showing the approximate field of view in Stellarium and the constellation sectors on a Milky Way map.

Really helpful to see what we are really looking at in relation to our position in the MW, thank you!

Love the presentation style, as well as the great image

I've never seen anything presented like that before with the constellations mapped out on the arms of the MW -  totally fascinating and I've learnt something new today.  Thank you.

Thanks, I did something similar for the view towards the galactic centre if you're interested.
