This is a 73 shot panorama of the Milky Way at Point Peron, part of the metropolitan area of Perth in Western Australia.

Given the location's proximity to the city of Perth, these are the most light polluted skies I have ever shot a full Milky Way panorama at. Let's just say the post processing was a little on the frustrating side, especially trying to minimise the worst of the light pollution on the right side of the image, the side where the more densely populated parts of the city are. Regardless, it made a change from having to drive two hours to a location, this one just a half hour drive away from home.
