The northern winter sky in a 360° fish-eye view from my backyard, Feb. 7, 2013, on a partly hazy night with some clouds reflecting light pollution from sodium vapour highway and street lights. This is a stack of 8 x 4 minute exposures but the foreground is from just one exposure. All with the 8mm Sigma fish-eye lens at f/4 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. Jupiter is the brightest object. The Zodiacal Light reaches up from the west at right and goes across the sky to form the Gegenschein, a subtle bright patch below centre at left in Cancer and Leo. A telescope taking close up shots of Orion is silhouetted against the distant sky glow at right.

An ultrawide angle image of the southern Milky Way, taken from Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia, December 13/14, 2012, using an 15mm Canon full-frame fish-eye lens and Canon 5D MkII camera for a stack of 4 x 6 minute exposures at f/4 and ISO 800. Jupiter is at top left, Orion to the right of Jupiter. Sirius is left of centre, the large Gum Nebula is at centre, while the Carina Nebula, Crux and the Pointer stars, Alpha and Beta Centauri, are rising at lower right. The Magellanic Clouds are at upper right. Some high altitude haze added glows around bright stars.
A fish-eye 360° image of the entire southern sky, taken from Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia, December 13/14, 2012, using an 8mm Sigma fish-eye lens and Canon 5D MkII camera for a stack of 4 x 8 minute exposures at f/4 and ISO 800. The ground silhouette is from just one frame to minimize blurring of the horizon - all images were tracked. Orion and Jupiter are at left (west), Sirius, Canis Major, Puppis and Vela are near centre in the Milky Way, while Crux and Carina are rising at right (east). South is at top over the cottage, north at bottom over Timor Rock. The Magellanic Clouds are at top right over the cottage. The large Gum Nebula is at centre in Vela; Barnard's Loop on Orion is at left.
