A faint Great Rift region of the Milky Way above lower Vartry reservoir

This stacked 2-row panorama was taken right after midnight on July 17, 2021 facing the southern sky above lower Vartry reservoir in Wicklow Mountains. This is Class 4 Bortle magnitude sky with light pollution coming from Wicklow and Arklow towns so the contrast is rather poor.

 

Shot on Sony A6400 with Samyang 12mm F2.0 mounted on Leofoto Ranger LS-284C tripod.

Background sky: 11 x 8s F2.8 ISO5000 for each panorama segment.

Foreground: 5 x 30s F2.8 ISO5000.

Processed in Capture One 21 Express, Sequator, GIMP and Microsoft ICE.
