An ultrawide-angle view of the Milky Way seen from the southern hemisphere, from Australia, March 21, 2014. This takes in most of the far southern Milky Way, from Orion at far right, to Canis Major, Puppis, Vela, and to Carina and Crux at far left. Jupiter is the bright object at upper right. Sirius and Canopus are right and left of centre. The Large Magellanic Cloud is at lower left. The vast Gum Nebula complex is at centre. This is a stack of 5 x 5 minute exposures at f/4 with the Canon 15mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1000. I shot this March 21, 2014 from the Warrumbungles Motel, Coonabarabra, NSW, Australia.
