This image is a composition of 13 images in total taken with super wide angle lens covering approximately 100°×100° angle of view. The lower part of the image consists of 7 images, the upper part of 6 images. Except for the Milky Way and the McNaught comet, both Small and Large Magellanic Clouds are visible in this image. This image is, from my point of view, very realistic and is very near to what I have in my mind with only one exception. The human vision has very low ability to see colors in low light conditions and therefore my sensation during the night was mostly B&W. (See the image detail)
