The Roaring Silence
Milky Way Core setting over Sisters Beach and Rocky Cape National Park, Tasmania.
The view is pretty much SE to NW. In addition to the MWC, at left we have the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These dwarf galaxies are ~166 - 200 LY from us and likely to to collide with us at some point. Just above the SMC is Canopus and below the LMC is Achernar (just made the crop!)
Above the core itself are Jupiter and Saturn and tucked away above the far end of the beach are some pretty cool noctilucient clouds I didn't actually notice until editing the frames. Finally Rocky Cape at extreme right where the lighthouse is just out of shot but the lume can be made out clearly.
Nikon Z6, Nikkor Z 20/1.8 S, 12 portrait frame stitch at 20 secs, f/2.2, ISO 3200. Manual WB at 3800K. 02:40 Hrs 2020/07/23
Sisters Beach has a tide of around 8' rise and fall and I was hoping for a lot less water on the generally flat beach in order to pick up heaps of reflections but was not to be - it was about 1/2 tide on the flood...
