This is a 78 shot panorama of the summer Milky Way arch over Lake Ninan, 2 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia. The prominent red regions in the sky are hydrogen alpha emitting nebulae captured using a screw on filter which isolates that part of the spectrum.
Prominent in this image are the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds in the right corner and following the 'band' of the Milky Way from the left side we have the California Nebula, the easily recognisable Orion Nebula & Barnard's Loop, the aptly named Seagull Nebula near the centre, the huge Gum Nebula and finally the pink Carina Nebula.
