Shot at the beginning of the Milky Way season here in Australia.
At around Midnight the core of the Milky Way starts to move above the horizon in mid April making for good viewing with out needing to set crazy alarms and have nights of broken or no sleep. Although that usually happens regardless for myself during the Milky Way season.

In the Southern hemisphere the Milky Way is only visible between April and October and over the summer months doesn't doesn't make it's way above the horizon but is visible in the Northern hemisphere at night.

The glow you can see in the image is the light pollution from Sydney. A bright old place it is! Amazed i was able to get the definition i did of the Milky Way considering... It was a few days after the full moon too.. The moon is what is lighting up the valley.

And I thought the milky way is always there! Another day another lesson 😃

That’s an amazing picture. I wish the night sky would ever look like that where I live. Last time I saw the Milky Way was in June when my wife and I were in the western US in the desert at night.

This is an incredible shot and appreciate you describing all the details of the picture and where the light is coming from.

Nice shot, mate! Was the moon out as well? You got some good details in the 'foreground'.

Great image, love astrophotography lucky to have the Brecon beacons which has "dark sky reserve status" just need to kit up for!

Great image. Astrophotography is the one genre of photography I've been interested in that I've yet to explore. Well done!
