This is a 16 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising over Yenyening Lakes about 2 hours east of Perth in Western Australia. The lake was very still this particular night so the stars were nicely reflecting off the surface.

Taken near the small Wheatbelt town of Boddington about 90 minutes east of Perth in Western Australia. The panorama was shot outside of the fence line of the farm, so no trespassing

This is a 63 shot panorama of the Milky Way setting over a lone gum tree on a farm in Cadoux, 2.5 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia.

This is easily the closest lone tree I have ever captured on any panorama, sitting just 15 metres away from me so it looks quite huge in this pano! I believe this is a canola farm but this was taken back in June so the canola is very young here, just sprouting I assume. I will have to come back when they are in full bloom in August or September, well that's if my recently injured back allows me to, it's stubbornly refusing to heal.

As usual with the Milky Way in this orientation, both the Carina Nebula (far left) and North America Nebula (far right) can be seen just above the horizon with the core on its way to setting towards the west. The light pollution is from the nearby Wheatbelt town of Wongan Hills.

This is a 62 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising over the northern end of Lake Ninan, a little over 2 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia.

I wasn't initially planning to visit this location but was persuaded to go by two local astrophotographers who I joined earlier in the night at another spot. Turned out to be a great idea as this is probably the best 'dead tree lake' spot I've see in my area to date.

Prominent in this image are the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds, almost obscured by the light pollution from the Wheatbelt town of Calingiri on the right side. Just above them is the pink coloured Carina Nebula. On the left of course is the Sagittarius region, the brightest part of the core. Connected to that, by the Dark River, is the colourful Rho Ophiuchi Complex.
