The Spot At Two Rocks. best seen on Black

This was a site I thought would yeld a good milky way shot but only a western and only 20 min from home. bow. this is 3 am in the morning just before moon rise. I got a shock to see just how vividly the Milky way stood out in the night sky.

the only surprise was it was so high in the sky I had to do it as a two Row bow. so 22 shots in total with the clear night filter.

Put "The Spot Two Rocks" in google earth.

Steve Paxton replied to Ko Hummel:

Ko I am still in the city outskirts but the bow was so strong in the sky even to my eyes let alone the Clear night filter. This only make the night worth while and the fact it was as close as 20 min from home. the road in is very rough @ 5km/H but the net result made it well worth it.

night like this make it all worth while. Many thanks

Steve Paxton replied to tiabunna:

You know it was a sinch to stitch I added the photos pressed align this is the result . Its more about set up and how the photo is sent to the stitcher. PTGui has never really let me down even if I have to go manual alignment But that is rare these days. The preparation is the key.

Many thanks yours next.
