The southern Milky Way from Canis Major to Carina, including Puppis and Vela and the large Gum Nebula complex, an interstellar bubble blown by stellar winds. Sirius is at right and Canopus at lower left. The open cluster NGC 2516 is at far left. The M41 cluster is left of Sirius. The pair of clusters NGC 2451 and NGC 2477 are near centre but small here.

North is at right here in a frame oriented along the Milky Way.

Technical:
This is a stack of 4 x 2 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the 35mm Canon L-series prime lens and filter-modified Canon 5D Mark II at ISO 1600. A pair of stacked exposures taken through the Kenko Softon filter added the star glows. Taken from near Coonabarabran, Australia, April 2014. Reprocessed in 2025.
