This is a 98 image panorama of the Milky Way setting over Guilderton Lighthouse a little over an hour north of Perth in Western Australia. 
This is the second full panorama I've done at this location, the first though was of the Milky Way rising from the east whereas here it's setting to the west. The first pano was also done at 35mm compared to 50mm here. Finally, this one used a tracking mount and a didymium filter. So all up a bit of an upgrade to the original in terms of equipment used :)
There was some pretty significant airglow on this particular night, as you can clearly see here with the green and red hues.
