Starry, starry sky 2

Part of the Milky Way, a composite of 2 photos merged in Photoshop. Unfortunately I do not know much about the names of stars and all the constellations but I think it is Scorpio towards the upper right of the photo. Taken about 360 km north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, Australia.

 

It partially overlaps the part of the Milky Way in my earlier photo. However, I used a different lens and this location had clearer skies. The colour of the stars is more obvious here. The white and blue stars are the hottest.

 

Thanks everyone for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves which have been left.
