Great Rift region of the Milky Way and airglow above Celtic Sea
This stacked 2-row panorama was taken right after midnight on July 18, 2021 facing the southern sky above Celtic Sea as seen from Hook Head in Wexford County. This is Class 3 Bortle magnitude sky but facing south from here means there is no artificial ligh sources to pollute the skies except from passing ships. There was a particularly intense airglow from atomic and molecular oxygen in the upper atmosphere, that's why the sky is colored in shades of green. Jupiter can be seen shining bright on the left casting a peculiar curved glow on the water surface.
Shot on Sony A6400 with Samyang 12mm F2.0 mounted on Leofoto Ranger LS-284C tripod.
Background sky: 10 x 8s F2.8 ISO6400 for each panorama segment.
Foreground: 5 x 30s F2.8 ISO6400.
