Coal Sack & Carina Nebulae - Stirling Ranges, Western Australia

Stiched in MS ICE
This was shot as I was waiting for the core to rise over the mountain range. Bluff Knoll is the tallest peak you see here and one of the only places in the entire state where it snows regularly. The air glow here was crazy and the skies are among the darkest in the country, which means they're also some of the darkest in the world.
Here you can see the Carina Nebula near the top, the Lambda Centauri Nebula just below it and a little further down is the dark Coal Sack Nebula.
