This is a 79 shot panorama of the Milky Way setting above the Kalbarri Cliffs, next to Pot Alley, 6 hours north of Perth in Western Australia.

 

The Zodiacal Light is quite prominent here, with Venus shining brightly right in the middle of it. The red regions of the sky are hydrogen alpha emitting nebulae, captured using a filter that isolates that part of the spectrum.
