This is a 94 shot panorama of the Milky Way above Vlamingh Head Lighthouse, just north of Exmouth in Western Australia. The lighthouse is not active and sits on top of a small bluff at the tip of the Exmouth peninsula, so the horizon is a little bit below me as you can see on the right with some of the Indian Ocean visible. Also being 1300km further north than where I normally do my astro the Milky Way looks a little lower and not so arched while the Magellanic Clouds are also quite a bit lower in the sky, in fact the SMC here is completely hidden behind the bluff and the LMC I believe is behind either the lighthouse or the small hut to its right. This was taken a few nights before the eclipse
