This is a 42 shot panorama of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds above The Pinnacles Desert, about 2 hours north of Perth in Western Australia.

 

I usually light paint foregrounds but decided to go for a more natural look with the shots I took this night. The Magellanic Clouds can be see clearly to the left, hovering above the light pollution. To the right you can see the North America Nebula and some red airglow above the horizon.
