The northern summer Milky Way extending from the tail of Cygnus to the stinger of Scorpius, taken in 5 panels.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This panorama of the summer Milky Way, extending from the tail of Deneb to the stinger of Scorpius was taken with a mirrorless camera (Canon EOS R6 Mark II) and 50 mm lens (Canon RF 50 mm f/1.8) as a set of 5 panels (32×30s frames) taken in southern Wisconsin. The panorama reveals much of the Great Rift, as well as various H II regions and star clouds, primarily concentrated near the Galactic Center and Cygnus. The colors are calibrated against sunlight to better reveal the reddening of the core, idue its older stellar population and the effect of dust extinction. Credit to @cecM of the Siril team for assisting with providing more accurate plate solves and distortion models for my camera and lens combo, as well as reprojecting the data to a more natural Mercator projection.
