Pinnacles Night Sky

This is my first successful milky way full arch panorama. It took me about 3 hours and 138 exposures to complete. I could've probably finished earlier (considering the relatively short exposures) but I had to wait for a tourist bus to leave. Luckily for me, it was a moonless clear sky night all throughout.

The image is a panorama of 138 exposures. The magellanic clouds can be seen at the bottom of the sky, the ρ Ophiuchi cloud complex and the blue head horse nebula towards the left, Carina nebula (center), Ω Centauri globular cluster (center top) and the Centaurus A galaxy right above Ω Centauri (an almost indistinguishable smudge).
