It's officially Milky Way season, and in New Zealand at the moment, you can see the galactic center of the Milky Way rising to the east around Midnight. As the year goes on that gets earlier in the night and will end up towards the west around September/October. I shot this image of the galactic core rising over Breaker Bay in Wellington, New Zealand a few weeks ago. It was certainly one of those perfectly still and clear nights.
