Milky Way at Lake Clifton, Western Australia
Nikon d5500
112 x 8 seconds
50mm + Hoya Filter
f/2.2
ISO 4000
Stitched in PTGui
Yet another trip to one of my favourite locations for astrophotography, Lake Clifton. Shot with a 50mm prime lens and a Hoya Red Intensifier filter, which helps to minimise light pollution while also enhancing nebulae. This image was taken from a little further away from the lake, in order to get the walkway into frame. This walkway was built over the lake to allow visitors to view the thrombolites, ancient lifeforms that are only found in a few locations on the planet.
This image covers approximately 210 degrees of the night sky. The Large & Small Magellanic Clouds can be seen on the left while the light pollution on the right is from the nearby city of Mandurah.
