Great Rift region of the Milky Way and meteors above Lough Tay

This stacked 2-row panorama was taken soon after midnight on August 13, 2021 facing the southwestern sky above Lough Tay and Luggala peak in Wicklow Mountains. This is Class 4 Bortle magnitude sky with light pollution from the surrounding towns and Dublin city so the contrast is rather poor. Two meteors from the Perseids meteor shower can be seen around the Milky Way.

 

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

Background sky: 20 x 8s F2.0 ISO6400 for each panorama segment.

Foreground: 7 x 30s F2.0 ISO5000.

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