Lucy Yunxi Hu, Fidelity of 2 Magellan Galaxies (PLACES 2023)

This image showcases the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud, situated above Lake Eucumbene in NSW, Australia. These two distant Magellanic Galaxies are visible to the naked eye. Their relative sizes in the sky can be directly compared with the dead tree in the lake. The image was created by a vertorama (panorama) using a 40mm lens. All components were captured from the same location, direction, and day. The image was taken on April 30th, 2022.
