Galactic smoke over Patagonian Volcano

Dusty, gaseous, and starry smoke seemingly rises from the distant Villarrica volcano nearby Pucon, Chile. It is our Milky Way what you see and many gems of the southern stary sky in it. Just over the distant summit where the light from lava is reflected in the vapor, the Alpha Centauri can be seen. Majestic Southern Cross (the Crux) is above and the most prominent is the large Gum Nebula in the sky. The two brightest stars in the sky – Sirius and Canopus are high above. On right, both Large and Small Magellanic Clouds can be seen. Such a beautiful is the Patagonian night! I will never forget. Used Canon 6D modified, Samyang 24 mm, f2.2, ISO 10000, 39x15s panorama.
