Milky Way over Yeal, Western Australia
Nikon d5500
50mm w/Hoya filter
69 x 8 seconds
ISO 4000
f/2.2
Stitched in MS ICE
Finally after two months of cloudy weather we got some clear nights so I took a trip 80km north to an old pine plantation just off the main road. About 15 minutes in though the clouds started rolling in and soon they were covering the core. I was about to pack it all in but decided to keep going in case I was able to salvage something later. Thankfully there was a clear patch that let me get off a quick panorama :)
The dead pine in the middle of the image is one of a handful left standing in this former pine plantation (the ones in the background are part of a rest stop area). The core is setting to the west while the light pollution on the left is from the city of Perth. The image covers approximately 200 degrees of the night sky from south to north.
I used a Hoya Red Intensifier didymium filter which helps remove some light pollution as well as enhancing nebulae.
