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.

You've made my night.  

I appreciate all the hard work that is so apparent in the final product.
I love the way you've made the distant city visible.  I feel it provides a very neat transition from the light speckled sky to the light devoid landscape.

The final product is certainly "eye catching!"

This looked like an eye in the thumbnail and when I saw the title I was like:

Infinity - in the blink of an eye

and I thought it very fitting
