Description

The Ngaanyatjarra Lands in Western Australia cover roughly 3% of the Australian landscape, a territory as large as that of the United Kingdom.

Predominantly desert, they lie 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) away from the two nearest towns of Alice Springs and Kalgoorlie.

They also happen to be home to some of the darkest skies in the World.

Captured using a Canon 1DX MKII and Canon 24-70mm f/4L EF IS USM this image comprises a single exposure and is where my interest in astrophotography originated.
