My first Milky Way bow

Six stitched images (vertical format) were needed to make this (about 180 degree) panorama of the Milky Way. In the middle of the bow are the Magellanic Clouds, two small satellite galaxies. Out on the right, a little evening mist is beginning to cover the lights of the local town. One to view large, maybe while listening to this.
Explored.

At this point I must mention my greatest appreciation to Steve Paxton who has been a mine of very helpful advice on the relevant techniques and has an ipernity group on Milky Way Bows . I have found he also wrote an excellent (ilustrated) article in an online photo magazine on "how to".
