Milky Way at Ryan Mountain Trailhead
Shooting panoramas in the dark is a pretty difficult task since it's difficult to make sure you're properly overlapping the frames. I recently purchased a device(MIOPS Capsule 360) to automate shooting panoramas. You program in the angle, overlap, and lens information on your smartphone and it takes care of the movement and triggering the shutter. I used an L-bracket with a manual pano head to move from one row to the next.

Milky Way Panorama at Red Rock
Newly risen Milky Way next to the Red Cliffs at Red Rock Canyon State Park. The Milky Way was captured in 18 non-tracked exposures and stitched together in PT-Gui. The foreground is composed of 4 shots(landscape orientation) lit with a headlamp. The light at the far right is from traffic on CA-14 and is from the sky shots.

Care for a movie? The screen is an old truck trailer and the cars have seen better days. This panorama consists of multiple shots that were exposure bracketed to handle the dynamic range between the shadows and the bright sun.
