Milky Way bow from Cyprus

Milky Way bow from Cyprus
Taken from just north of Pafos at Sea Caves, looking south. This is a nine shot panorama, all done in portrait mode. Each capture taken via my Tokina zoom at 11mm, 15secs, F3.2, 1600iso. The edges are the coastal rocks of chalky limestone hence the light nature with the low foreground being the sea itself. The lighter low spot is in fact an island, Centre left shows us the constellation of Orion with its bright belt and sword. The bright star to the left of this is Sirius. The light milky bow of the Milky Way, consist of course, of millions of stars. All in all , a far better experience taking this in the mild black evenings of a new moon Cyprus than my Northern England.

Again my gratitude to Steve Paxton for his invaluable help in me capturing and creating this.

Very glad you think so Annemarie. A great deal of work involved to get one of these but always nice to see the finished results. Regards, Herb

Congrats, this is excellent work, especially viewed large! I imaganie stitching isn't easy with only the stars to go by.

Thanks Gudrun. You are right about the stitching. Where there is a strong foreground, is ok but the centre of the picture with just stars is always a problem for me. There are lots of other problems too, to do with level-movement distortions and bringing out the soft milky way cloud like structure too. Glad you like it though.
Cheers, Herb
