Another Milky Way pano with airglow

[gregbradley]

Here's another panorama using 7 x 2.5 minute exposures and a Fuji XT2 and Samyang 12mm F2.0 lens on a Polarie. I caught some nice magenta air glow.

That's really nice Greg!

Only a minor suggestion but if you take the ground without it tracking you'll get a still foreground (car/house/trees [if short enough]).

Wall worthy print

Thanks Colin. I did actually take a static pano of the landscape but I could get it to match up. I concluded it was a matter of sequence. I took all the tracked images and then took all the untracked landscape images.

Next time I will take the tracked images for a panel and immediately turn the tracked off and get the landscape untracked shot for that panel. Then stitch them all together or do 2 panos and hope I can stretch/warp them to fit. I have managed to combine tracked and untracked before but not this time. It was also windy so a lot of the tree shots were blurred not only from the tracking but also from wind so only the items that weren't wind effected gave sharp images.

The other approach is stacking shorter exposures. May try both ways next time and see which gives the better result.

Greg.
