Aubrac under the stars, which I shot at the Lake of the Monks, in the land of my ancestors

  1. Hello! Here is a panorama taken during the night of August 8th to 9th.

    If you’re interested, you can find more of my work on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tinmar_g/)

    In this picture, you can see the core of the Milky Way above the lake called “Lac des Moines,” which means “Monks Lake” in French. It’s located in the Aubrac region, a beautiful place with vast steppes that resemble Mongolia.

    For the panorama, I captured 8 tiles for the sky, with each tile being a stack of 7 pictures, each with a 30-second exposure. So, for the sky, this represents almost 30 minutes of exposure. I used a Star Adventurer mount to avoid getting star trails in my pictures. That’s why I had to take the foreground separately, which consists of 3 tiles.

    **Settings:** ISO 4000 – f/2 – 30 seconds
    **Equipment:** Canon 6D (astro-modified) – Sigma ART 20mm – Star Adventurer

    Wow this is absolutely incredible, I can only imagine how someone’s perspective would shift if they could see every clear night.

    Fantastic work! I love the quality of the light on the horizon and the vibrancy of the Milky Way
