Milky Way at Cowcowing Lakes, Western Australia

This is a 43 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising above the salt encrusted surface of a dry lake at Cowcowing Lakes, 2.5 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia.
Another photo where I've thrown myself into the foreground to add some scale and interest as the lake was otherwise featureless, save for the pressure ridges you can see on the surface. It was a pretty windy night so I had to shorten the exposures, compensated by increasing ISO.
As usual, prominent in the night sky are the Magellanic Clouds near the centre, the deep red Gum Nebula on the right and just left of that is the pink coloured Carina Nebula.
