Milky Way over Lake Clifton, Western Australia - 35mm Panorama

            60 x 13 seconds
ISO 4000
f1.8
35mm

Stitched in MS ICE.

It's getting close to the end of the Milky Way season and the weather here in Perth has been terrible since the last time I managed to get out in early July. I don't normally get out on weekdays because of work but I couldn't pass up the opportunity of some rare clear skies!
Lake Clifton is famous for its thrombolites, called living fossils, but they were all submerged after the winter rains! Oh well. Most of my MW photos have the core rising from the east but this one has the core setting towards the west, over the nearby Indian Ocean, which explains the green air glow to the right as opposed to the reddish orange air glow common over land areas that you can see to the left.
This panorama originally came in at 320 megapixels (300MB) but Flickr rejected the upload so I was forced to resize it to fit within the 200MB limit. Pro users should have no limit Flickr!!  :-)
