Panorama
This is a 4 section panorama stitched in Lightroom. Each of the 3 sky sections are made of 15 horizontal shots (15 seconds, 14mm, f 2.8, ISO 8000, Nikon D850) stacked in Sequator. The ground is 12, 30 second exposures. Bortle 1 sky. The light you see on the ground is from the starlight. The top of the photo is directly overhead. This section of the Milky Way is called the Orion Arm. The bright star in the lower left is Canopus, the 2nd brightest star in the night sky. The brightest star in all of the night sky is Sirius which is the bright star almost directly above Canopus. We can't see Canopus in Ohio. This was taken in Study Butte, TX, 29 degrees north of the Equator.
