Backyard Milky Way Over The Dogrun

I went out on the deck to see what was bothering our dogs and saw a great looking Milky Way.

Hauled out the Sony A7III with an adapted Canon 24-105L lens and shot a few subs, tripod mounted. A total of seven sessions of five subs each (24mm, f/4, 20sec. @ ISO3200). Aligned and stacked in PixInsight. Vertical panorama and final postprocessing in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Enjoy!

P.S.: The dogs were simply talking to the coyotes in the pasture.

Nice, but I don't understand. Download 25% of full scale?? What? Why?

Because the full sized JPG is 5,203 x 11,429 pixels and 19MB. It would take me 15 minutes to upload the full sized file.

Because the file sizes for Astrophotography can get insanely big. So what you see here are really, really shrunk down to the 20 megs allowed.
Suffices to say, good job Brian!

When I downloaded it I thought Oh! What happened here?
Then I clicked on it to open it up and it's really beautiful!
Great framing, too!

Must be turning cold there by now. Poor puppies.

I remember a -38° cold snap my first fall in Wyoming, it was mid November. My face burned running from the crew car to the front door.
I wondered what frozen hell I'd moved to.

Thanks for posting that, Brian.

The pups don't seem to mind the cold weather. A couple of them sleep outside year round even though they have a nice warm doghouse. Of course they live outside and are acclimatized to the weather.

A couple of recent pix attached.

Very nice image of the milkyway. M31 really stands out in the image.
