This is one of my early large-format panoramas taken with the Canon EOS Ra. Previous posts featured single exposures, but here I captured a classic wide-field Milky Way panorama composed of 10 separate images, stitched together to reveal far more detail and structure in the galactic core.
The photo was taken at Toronto Reservoir in Bethel, New York, a quiet and scenic area located about 7.7 miles from Monticello in Sullivan County. The reservoir sits in a relatively dark region compared to NYC, making it a great location for astrophotography when the sky is clear.
In the photo you can clearly see the calm surface of the Toronto Reservoir, framed by the dark silhouettes of trees along the shoreline. The water reflects the trees and several bright stars, creating a peaceful mirrored foreground. Above it, the Milky Way stretches like a river in the sky, while the reservoir becomes the river on Earth — both flowing in parallel. A portion of the Galactic Center is also visible, adding extra detail and structure to the panorama.
