Milky Way and Planets over a Prairie Pond
A 160° panorama taken July 5/6 of the summer Milky Way and the array of summer 2018 planets over the prairie pond near home in southern Alberta. Mars is bright to the left, Saturn is dimmer and at centre in the Milky Way, while bright Jupiter is at right.
Mars and Jupiter nicely flank the Milky Way, and cast glitter paths on the water.
The arcing line joining the planets defines the arc of the ecliptic, always low in the south in northern hemisphere summer.
Mars is approaching Earth and brightening at this time heading for a late July opposition. The sky is deep blue with solstice twilight. Several satellite trails punctuate the sky.
This is a panorama with 2 tiers of 6 segments each, stitched with Adobe Camera Raw. Each segment was 20 seconds at f/2 with the 20mm Sigma Art lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400. Glow effect and vignetting added with Zone System Express extension effects.
