Description

My first Milky Way Arch of the Season. This time I went to the Dark Sky Alqueva reserve in Alentejo to catch the full arch of the Milky Way. And let me tell you want amazing dark skies, seeing the Milky Way with naked eye is an experience everyone should have.

For this 180° panorama I went with 6 panels for the sky and 6 panels Foreground. For the Sky I shoot for each panel 5x1min tracked exposures to stack them and reduce noise. For the foreground I shoot each panel 4x30s untracked exposures. The sky and foreground were later blended together in editing.

Gear:
Canon RP modified
Samyang 24mm f/1.4 @2.8
SW StarAdventurer 2i

Sky:
6 panels, 5x60s @ 1600iso, f/2.8

Foreground:
6 panels, 4x30s @ 1600iso, f/2.8
