My first attempt at fulldome panorama ✨

This image shows the captivating beauty of the starry sky above our heads! The full 180° stretch of the summer Milkyway is visible.

I always wanted to capture a panorama like this but never really knew how to or had the right conditions to capture one. Now that I am at a very dark sky location, away from the city, I got an opportunity to take my dream shot just before the monsoon starts.

Capture details:

Sony A7iii, 28-70mm lens

60×15" images at ISO 5000

Stitched in Microsoft ICE, edited in Photoshop (curves, levels, camera RAW)

Bortle 2 zone, near Ratnagiri, India

DM for full resolution or prints

It's beautiful! That would be so cool if you could get this transferred into a crystal ball somehow.

Can someone please explain to me in simple terms how it is possible to get a picture of this? What do I need to do? I'm sitting here stoned on my couch thinking how crazy it would be to see this for myself.
