Milky Way at Lake Towerrinning, Western Australia
Nikon d5500
50mm + Hoya Red Intensifier filter
ISO 3200
f/2.5
Foreground: 35 x 13 seconds
Sky: 81 x 30 seconds
iOptron SkyTracker
Finally I get to the last image in my backlog of photos and probably my favourite shot of the year.
This is a 116 shot panorama of the Milky Way setting over the still waters of Lake Towerrinning, about 2.5 hours south east of Perth in Western Australia. There was very little wind this night making the lake's surface particularly reflective.
Prominent in this image are the Carina Nebula and North America Nebula just above the horizon on the far left and far right respectively as well as the Rho Ophiuchi Complex just below the core. If you look carefully you can see what looks like a green star reflected on the lake near the end of the opposite jetty/dock, this is in fact the light from my other camera as it was taking the star trails image I posted a few weeks back :)
