Dead Tree
Lake Ninan — often described as one of the Wheatbelt’s hidden gems — is a stunning salt lake about 10 km southwest of Wongan Hills, WA. It’s a well-known astro-tourism hotspot, and I’ve been here a few times before.
But this night, I actually ended up here by accident. I was scouting two other locations about half an hour away — one didn’t quite have the charm I hoped for, and the other was packed with campers. With the night quickly approaching, I made a last-minute call to head back to Lake Ninan, this time exploring the southern side of the carpark.
By the time I got there and set up, the Milky Way core was already quite low— sitting just above 45°. The final image is a 28-panel panorama, stretching from the south-east (left) to the north-east (right), with a few extra H-alpha shots blended in for detail.
