Image Description and Details :

Here is a vertical panorama that I made ln august.

It has been shot in Cévennes in France. I choose this location because of the granite rocks which are interesting foreground for my photos. The spot was lost in the middle of nowhere juste next to a very little countryside road, but there were so much cars that takes this road with full headlights…
Initially the panorama was smaller but then I had the idea to combine it with another panorama of the Milky Way with the cygnus region that I had done with the same technique and the same equipment (Canon 6D + Sigma 50mm).

For Pano 1 (Sky + lower part of milkyway) each tilt is a stack of 6 pictures 30sec ISO-3200 f2.8. For the sky part there are 3 row of 3 tiles and one row with 2 tiles. For the foreground it's a row of 3 tiles that has been shot in the blue hour juste before the night with those settings : ISO-1250 | f5.6 | 1/5sec

For Pano 2 each tile is a stack of between 7 and 10 shots. There are 3 row of 3 tiles.

Equipment :
- Canon 6D Astrodon moddified
- Sigma Art 50mm
- Sywatcher Star Adventurer

Processing :
- For each panel (sky & foreground) stacked on Sequator
- Adjust each panel on Photoshop (curve and Camera raw filter)
- Assemble the panoramo on PTGui
- Final adjustments (crop and Camera raw filter) on Photoshop

This chapel with a breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps not only is one of the most tranquil places I know, it is also perfectly oriented for astrophotography. The reasonably dark sky allowed me to capture it under the setting winter Milky Way with its wonderful plethora of red emission nebula.
