This is a 67 shot panorama of the Milky Way above Bluff Knoll, part of the Stirling Range National Park, 4 hours south east of Perth in Western Australia.

This is another taken on a night that produced the strongest airglow I have ever seen, thanks to the solar maximum we are currently experiencing. The red nebulous parts of the sky are hydrogen alpha emitting regions, captured thanks to a special filter which isolates that part of the spectrum.
