The Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds from Hakos

The Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds from Hakos

Description

I simply had to capture this. This is what we saw for two weeks when we went back to the telescopes from our rooms after a short technical break. I made proper polar alignment for the second time in my life to take this shot. The camera is not modified therefore the nebulae are not that beautiful.
