This is a 45 shot panorama of the Milky Way, Zodiacal Light & the setting moon over Lake Towerrinning about 2.5 hours south east of Perth in Western Australia.

This is the second time I have visited this location, the first of which was quite still, wind wise, so I managed to get some nice reflections. Unfortunately this time the wind was reasonably strong so no reflections, well only hazy ones of the brighter stars. Even so, it creates a nice shimmer effect on the surface I guess. This was very late in the season so not enough time to shoot a 50mm pano as I had a couple of other locations to get to as well before the core set.
The setting moon can be seen near the end of the jetty on the left, it was only at about 5% illumination so didn't affect the sky too much.
