This is a 65 shot panorama of the Milky Way setting over the Stirling Range National Park, 4 hours south east of Perth in Western Australia.

 

The red areas of the sky are hydrogen alpha emitting regions captured using a special filter that isolates that part of the spectrum. The most prominent region here is Cygnus on the far right, home to the North America Nebula.
