Road to stars

Road to stars - here is a panoramic image of the summer Milky Way as well as beautiful green airglow (atmospheric) emission. I took this image few nights ago. When you stay on the road, facing south-west, and slowly raise your head up, at some point you will find yourself looking and the northern horizon. The whole stripe of the Milky Way can be seen in great details.

You can see the image in higher resolution here:
