Milky Way through the Airglow - 50mm Panorama

50mm

64 x 6 seconds

ISO 5000

f1.8

Stitched in MS ICE

 

This is a 344 megapixel 'horizon to horizon' panorama of the Milky Way, shot at 50mm above the Pinnacles Desert in Western Australia. It's one of my first attempts at a pano using my new 50mm prime lens. I'm not sure what to think about the airglow, I'd rather it not be there but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it.....but hey, maybe it adds something? :)

 

The 50mm lens is able to capture a bit more detail than the 35mm lens I usually use, nebulae are more prominent and of course there's that pesky airglow. Next time I plan to use my star tracker for even more detail and perhaps an H Alpha filter but that will probably have to wait til next season :-)
