The reason people may not have seen an image like that in the past is because the type of computer processing required for the average joe to stitch together composites like that has only become mainstream in RECENT history.

also the rainbow effect is possible by simply using a simple PANORAMIC capture of the sky
My first successful panorama of the Milky Way. Thought you guys would enjoy it!
how can you explain that ?

Yes, those are all perfectly normal images. Notice the individual images are straight, which is what I thought you said you expected initially.

The curve isn't there, what are you not understanding. The curve is only caused by the type of imaging being done. I already told you to research how the curve happens in that type of photo.

By the way, I've used Stellarium for years.
If you want to see for yourself that the ANGLE of the Milky Way changes depending upon where on Earth you're photographing from, just use the software to jump around the globe and see for yourself.
And yes, there is definitely something goofy going on with that image you're so hung up on, although I couldn't see it clearly until I went out and searched for the original and saw it in much higher resolution. As I'm sure you know, that's a stock photo. There is very clear distortion. I'm not sure if it's caused by a lens or computer processing, but it's clearly there.
You might not want to use unsourced stock photos to prove your point.

Look at the railing and sidewalk. The area where it curves is the pivot for the images.
