This is a 66 shot panorama of the Milky Way over Elephant Cove in Denmark, about 4.5 hours south of Perth in Western Australia. This little cove is adjacent to the more well know Greens Pool, a popular swimming lagoon west of Denmark.
Prominent in this image are the Magellanic Clouds just above the rocks in the water, the Carina Nebula a bit further up and to the right and some red airglow above the horizon.
In the foreground, light painted with a handheld spotlight, you can just make out the Elephant Rocks formation on the right that the cove is named after. The night sky here was among the best I have ever seen in the state but maybe that was biased by the fact the core was almost directly overhead when I was pondering this ;-)
