Namibian Sky [Explored]

I captured this panorama during my Namibia vacation in 2023. It shows the setting Milky Way arching over one of the iconic dead trees in the Namib Rand Desert.

 

On my YouTube channel I try a new form of presenting such a big image, which not only allows me to zoom in and show the true resolution of the panorama, it also gives me the opportunity to showcase a few of the astronmical wonders it contains and share some insights about them.

 

You find this astronomy tour through the panorama on my YouTube channel:

Thanks for watching and I love to hear your feedback about how you like this form of presenting an image.
