Milky Way panorama - a photo on Flickriver

Milky Way panorama

Four frames taken in Leamington last week, from Sagittarius at the southern horizon to some light-polluted clouds beyond Cassiopeia near the northern horizon. Best viewed large.

Canon XTi, kit lens @ 18mm, f3/5. Piggybacked on an Orion SVP 80ED. The Cygnus region is this photo, 10 minutes at ISO 800. The other photos are 3-4 minutes, ISO 1600.

This winter, I plan on re-imaging the Cassiopeia region when it's high overhead to mitigate the light pollution... and then extend the left end of this panorama through Orion and Canis Major. :)

Stitched with Hugin. Edit: made another attempt to match color and brightness between frames. Edit 2: smoothed out the blending.
