Milky Way above Island Point, Western Australia

Tokina AT-X Pro 11-16mm @ 13mm
f2.8
ISO 4000
3 x 25 seconds

I seem to be doing mainly panorama/mosaic shots these days :)
This is another small vertical pano stitched in MS ICE. It comprises three landscape shots on top of one another in order to get the core of the MW into the shot, which was pretty much directly overhead. The gnarly tree is framing the island, backlit by light pollution from nearby towns.
If you look closely, the Small Magellanic Cloud appears to be perched on a branch like a small bird :)
