This is a 97 image panorama shot at Herron Point, approximately 75km (50mi) south of Perth in Western Australia. Herron Point is a small camping area on the shores of Collin's Pool, more popular for crabbing than astrophotography :)

This particular image covers approximately 220 degrees of the night sky with the core of the galaxy setting to the west and the Magellanic Clouds visible to the south (left side). The moon can be seen setting to the left of the large, wind swept tree in the middle. It was only at about 5 percent illumination but looks much brighter due to the long exposure.
