Mt Buffalo National Park, Australia, 29/08/14

Spent the night back at one of my favorite locations to image from a couple of nights ago.  There was still a bit of snow around from heavy falls earlier in the year.
With the central bulge of the Milky Way directly overhead and a crescent Moon setting in the west, I thought it was a good time to do another all sky panorama before setting up for a few timelapse sequences.

A lot of people on another site have said I should have called this image "Dragons Eye" and I agree that that would be a great title for this, but "Infinity" reflects what I was feeling on this night, as I spent a large part of it just lying on my back and staring up into night sky. 

23 image panorama.
Canon 6D, 14mm, F/2.8, ISO 6400, 30 seconds.

How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Oh, baby, I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Lie awake only hoping they're okay
I never counted all of mine
If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity
Infinity, infinity, yeah
Infinity

Nice Shot.

    This is a wonderful composition, the snow adds a great "feeling" of cold when thinking about the title, although it does look like a dragon's eye, I still like that you kept with this idea. Are there city lights out in the background that I can see? It adds great color to the sky giving it the look of a marble. Even though the color of the dirt around everything is bland it has that wonderful contrast to offset the sky and stars, great shot I could stare at this all day!

I detail the photo settings in the description.  Once you have the images, load them in to a panorama program and this is the end result.
