This is a 64 shot panorama of the summer Milky Way as it arches over Pink Lake near Quairading, 2 hours east of Perth in Western Australia. The lake is split in two by the road you see in the middle of the image, at certain times of the year one side of the lake turns pink while the other maintains its muddy brown colour.
Prominent in this image are the Magellanic Clouds to the right, the nearby pink Carina Nebula just below the large deep red h-alpha region called the Gum Nebula. On the left side is the well known Orion nebula surrounded by Barnard's Loop and in the far left bottom corner of the sky are the blue coloured Seven Sisters aka the Pleiades or Subara constellation. There's also quite a bit of airglow, mainly on the right side above the horizon.
