‘An amphitheatre of pandani watch on as the galactic core, swathed in airglow, rises over an alpine lake, nestled in a rugged Tassie mountain range. Lady Aurora dances under the Magellanic Clouds. This image was captured on a crisp night in one of Tasmania’s more rugged and majestic multi-day walks.’ Loinnekumme country, South-west national park, Tasmania.

Dancing Lights 💃🏻🪩🕺🏻
I managed to snap about two hours of 10 second images from a dry lake last night, between 10pm and midnight.
This is all of them compressed into a time lapse, with the stars rotating around the south celestial pole.
Other than the horizon being weirdly bright and there being a *hint* of a vertical pillar from time to time, this was pretty much not naked eye visible.
