Hi all,
Following on from the overwhelming support shown for my last Milky Way panorama http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=87303 including an "Image Of The Week" I thought I would do another one. Made up of 10 individual shots using a Canon 60D and a Tamron 10-24mm @ 10mm. Images stitched together in PS CS3. I had a hard time deciding which way to orrient this but decided on this composition as if you are lying flat on your back gazing at the stars and you can turn your head to the left or right to the horizons. On the left (southern) horizon you can see a small amount of light pollution form a city about 60 miles (100 km) away. The redder haze on both horizons is caused by smoke in the atmosphere. A lot of people are burning off their fields around here lately.
Hope you like it.
Cheers
Greg
P.S.- if anyone wants to know camera settings, I reveal all in the thread linked above for "Southern Skies". Exactly the same for these shots.

Thank you very much Marcus and Mark :D Image at still the same size but better quality can be found here http://500px.com/obsidianphotos if you want. I actually just bought a different second hand Mk II from another member. Can't wait......

Nice work again Greg.

You'll love the 5D Mk II. I've only had mine for a few weeks but I noticed the difference straight away.

Will your Tokina lens work with it?

Thank you very much Mike and Ross:D Yeah I can't wait to get my hands on it Mike. Sadly my Tamron wide angle lens will not work on it, so I'll be a little bit limited with the 5D for a while until I can build up my lens collection for it. Going to get just a 20mm prime for it initially until I can afford the 16-35mm.
