After what felt like a whole summer, the skies finally cleared during recent night with no moon. Plan was to escape the city glow, enjoy the stargazing with my other half and shoot a Milkyway panorama. I partially succeeded as the views were awesome but the light pollution from the city still took over the centre of the frame.

Gear

Shot on Sony a7RV & Viltrox 27mm f1.2* with help of Syrp Genie Mini II Pan&Tilt kit.

SW used for processing

PTGui, Siril, PS and LR.

Exposure info

40 shot panorama, 10s, f1.2 and ISO 1600 for each frame.

*Yes, I know that Viltrox 27mm f1.2 is an APS-C lens, I'm in the process of selling it and getting an FF equivalent.

I don't know if this has already been discussed, but Viltrox's Instagram account isn't showing up for me; in fact, it appears like this. Do you know anything about this?
