50mm - 124 x 6 seconds - ISO 3200 - f/2.0

Stitched in MS ICE

Lake Lescehnaultia is a man made reservoir created to supply water for steam trains for half a century from the late 1890's. It's now a recreational and camping area located just outside the Perth metropolitan area.
The light pollution from the city can be seen in the right hand side of the image along with the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds. The lights on the left are from the camping grounds. The image covers approximately 180 degrees of the night sky. Originally coming out of the stitching program at 1.6 gigapixels, it has since been trimmed down to 500 megapixels due to Lightroom's size limitations (get your act together Adobe!!).

I appreciate your comment, but note that "I" is inefekt69, not Suppressed. I just posted the original title.

You can get views like that in the rural areas of West Texas too. I do miss being able to see the Milky Way in the night sky.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
