The Great Rift - a photo on Flickriver

The Great Rift

This is a 2 panel panorama of Milky Way from the constellation Cygnus to Scutum.

I took this image during my night on Furka Pass. As I was very tired at 3 a.m., when I shot the images, my framing was sloppy and with so many stars, you can easily loose your bearings...

When my favorite stiching software failed to find common points, I initially thought the two panels were not overlapping. Only recently I noticed a very slight overlap and I was able to stitch the two images manually.

Sadly at 3 a.m., the core of Milky Way was already below the horizon....

Nevertheless I like the result.
