The Milky Way from Southern hemisphere

A view of the Milky Way from the southern tip of Australia. Amateur photographer Alex Cherney captures the night sky using just an ordinary digital camera.

Alex has taken beautiful images of the night sky from the Mornington peninsula on the southern coast of Australia. He takes advantage of the lack of light pollution to capture detailed pictures of the cosmos using very long exposures.
