This is a 95 shot panorama of the summer Milky Way arch and Magellanic Clouds above the polygonal salt flats of Cowcowing, 2.5 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia.
Prominent in this image are the red hydrogen alpha emitting regions of Orion, at about 11 o'clock from my perspective standing in the middle of the image, and the Gum Nebula at about 1 o'clock. In the top right at the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds. There's also quite a bit of red and green airglow.
