The centre of the Milky Way in Sagittarius and Scorpius overhead as seen amid the gum trees around Tibuc Cottage in Australia, April 12, 2016. The Dark Emu from Crux to Scutum is visible in its entirety. Mars and Saturn shine in Scorpius overhead. Zodiacal Light is beginning to brighten the eastern sky at bottom. This is a stack of 5 x 6-minute tracked exposures with the 15mm fish-eye lens at f/4 and Canon 5D MKII at ISO 1600. The trees appear to be swirling around the South Celestial Pole at lower right above the Cottage.
