This is a 48 shot panorama of the Milky Way above the Stirling Ranges, 4 hours south east of Perth in Western Australia.
This was taken the same night as my previous posted image of the Lily Windmill, a night where I saw the strongest airglow I have ever witnessed. This is mainly due to the solar maximum we're currenlty experiencing which not only produces more intense aurora events but also more intense airglow.
The red areas in the image are hydrogen alpha emitting regions, from Zeta Ophiuchi on the far left to the Gum Nebula on the far right.
