This is a 46 shot panorama of the summer Milky Way arch above Cowcowing Lakes, 2.5 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia.

 

The red areas are hydrogen alpha emitting regions captured using a 20nm narrow band filter. The airglow this evening was particularly strong while the Large Magellanic Cloud can be seen in the top right corner.
