This is a 75 shot panorama of the Milky Way above The Pinnacles Desert, 2 hours north of Perth in Western Australia.  

Prominent in this image is the Gum Nebula just above the pointed pinnacle on the right. Just above that is the pink coloured Carina Nebula with the Magallanic Clouds to the right of the light pollution.

The Pinnacles are known for their limestone rock formations which rise out of the desert sand and resemble an alien landscape.
