It was a beautiful night in Banff National Park and I took advantage of the clear sky to capture a few subs of the Milky Way.

Used a Sony A7R V with adapted Canon 24-105 L lens, tripod mounted.

Image is a panorama of four stacks each with four images shot at 24mm, f/4, 20 sec. and ISO 3200.

Postprocessed in Lightroom and AutoGigaPano.

Enjoy!

Really beautiful, Brian!
Did you light up those mountains with your flashlight?
(Just kidding.)

Quite a play on the light.

Beautiful scenery!

The Banff Springs hotel complex lights up the lower left corner and the town of Banff lights up the right side. The center two lights are the lower and upper terminals of the Banff Gondola.

Definitely not a dark sky preserve!

Even if not an optimal setting, these are lovely pictures of the Milky Way. --Riichard
