This is a 12 shot panorama of the Crux and Carina region of the Milky Way rising above the Lily Windmill at Stirling Range National Park, 4 hours south east of Perth in Western Australia. I have never witnessed airglow as strong as this before and it is thanks to being in solar maximum which not only produces more active aurora but airglow too.
