Description

Despite the light pollution of neighboring city Keetmanshoop the Milky Way was bright enough so one can say it’s a bortle 1-2 sky which is actually the case everywhere in Namibia. Fortunately there was no wind down there in the south so I could finish shooting the panorama without any shake of the gear. To process this image and stitch panorama correctly for the first time I applied a software that I’ve never used before. It’s was composed in APP. It took me more than a day to assemble it and I’m happy to see the result.
