This image was taken in September of 2014, on the outskirts of Oshu City, where Mizusawa VLBI Observatory is located, in Iwate Prefecture. This panorama combines 7 pictures taken with a diagonal fisheye lens.The conditions inside Mizusawa VLBI Observatory are good and it is possible to see the Milky Way, but if you travel 30 minutes by car to the city outskirts, the city lights decrease and it is even easier to see.Objects like the Great Summer Triangle and the Andromeda Galaxy are pictured around the rainbow shaped Milky Way.
