The southern Milky Way and galactic centre rising on an April night in Australia, with the constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpius coming up, and the bulge of the galactic centre above the treetops. The sky is discoloured by some bands of airglow. Alpha and Beta Centauri are at top right. Antares is left of centre. The dark lanes here form the neck and body of the Dark Emu. This is a stack of 8 x 45-second exposures for the ground, mean combined to smooth noise, and one 45-second untracked exposure for the sky, all with the Rokinon 14m lens at and Canon 6D at ISO 3200. Taken as part of a 500-frame time-lapse sequence.
