In the early morning hours of September the summer Milky Way arch stars to rise in the east. Full of red hydrogen-alpha emission nebulae it will dominate in the southern sky the whole southern summer (our winter). It was actually not that easy to wait until the morning after shooting all night without at least a half an hour of nap. I found this Quiver Tree on the way back to the lodge. The upside down Orion was already high enough in the sky to start my panorama. After Venus appeared from the horizon I realized I have only 30 min left until morning twilight starts. Limited in time I managed to photograph the whole arch. Normally the air cools down in these hours that brings a lot of green airglow visible on the image.
