Milky Way over Lake Leschenaultia
50mm
124 x 6 seconds
ISO 3200
f/2.0
Stitched in MS ICE
Lake Lescehnaultia is a man made reservoir created to supply water for steam trains for half a century from the late 1890's. It's now a recreational and camping area located just outside the Perth metropolitan area.
The light pollution from the city can be seen in the right hand side of the image along with the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds. The lights on the left are from the camping grounds. The image covers approximately 180 degrees of the night sky. Originally coming out of the stitching program at 1.6 gigapixels, it has since been trimmed down to 500 megapixels due to Lightroom's size limitations (get your act together Adobe!!).
