New Mexico Milky Way Panorama

The winter Milky Way and Zodiacal Light in a 180° panorama taken at the Painted Pony Resort in southwestern New Mexico, March 11, 2013. The panorama is a composite of 4 segments, each a two layer stack, and each exposure 3 minutes at f/2.8 with the 14mm Samyang lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, and each exposure tracked on the iOptron SkyTracker. The ground is from one exposure per segment. Jupiter is the bright object near the centre.
