This is an 8 shot stack of comet A3 aka Tsuchinshan ATLAS as it sets above Lake Clifton, one hour south of Perth in Western Australia.
No, this isn't a dry salt lake, the strong wind this night, coupled with the long exposure, created a sheen on the water. It's taken not long after sunset which probably explains the red hues in the sky.

This is a 53 shot panorama of the Milky Way setting over a small, wooded hill on a wheat farm at Jennapullin, 1.5 hours east of Perth in Western Australia.
The light pollution silhouetting the hill is from the nearby Wheatbelt town of Northam. To the left are the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds and on the right is the Cygnus region of the Milky Way, enhanced by a hydrogen alpha filter that isolates that part of the spectrum.

This is a 29 shot panorama of the Milky Way & comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshanę³”TLAS) setting above Sugarloaf Rock near Dunsborough, 3 hours south of Perth in Western Australia.
The comet was just visible to the naked eye (I had to look slightly away from it) but it was still quite bright in-camera. The airglow was pretty crazy too!

This is a 67 shot panorama of the Milky Way above Bluff Knoll, part of the Stirling Range National Park, 4 hours south east of Perth in Western Australia.
This is another taken on a night that produced the strongest airglow I have ever seen, thanks to the solar maximum we are currently experiencing. The red nebulous parts of the sky are hydrogen alpha emitting regions, captured thanks to a special filter which isolates that part of the spectrum.

This is a 39 shot panorama of the Milky Way setting above Pot Alley near Kalbarri, 6 hours north of Perth in Western Australia
The popular part of Pot Alley is actually a small inlet and beach inbetween the cliffs. This is an interesting rock formation at the top of the cliffs. The ocean can be seen on the right of the image.
