Moon and Milky Way over kunanyi / Mount Wellington

The Moon was up on this trip, sitting right in the band of the Milky Way. Moonlight washes out the fainter stars, so this frame is a balance between the bright Moon and what the sky could still show.

The summit's broadcast tower stands on the left, and the Zig Zag Track heads off between the boulders towards Hobart below.
