The full-size image is here => http://www.cielaustral.com/galerie/photo95fb.jpg . It's 14,400 x 14,200 pixels, about 87Mb. So you'll want to have a nice fast connection before trying to download it.

I’ve seen the southern sky once. It’s a real treat for someone used to the northern sky.

At 100% image size my 24” monitor shows about 2% of the full picture area (appr. 1/7 vertical and 1/7 horizontal; 1/7 x 1/7 = 1/49 = appr. 2%, right?).
I think I need a bigger monitor.
There are a heck of a lot of stars out there. One estimate (said to be credible) I saw some time ago stated that there are about as many stars in the universe as grains of sand on all of Earth’s beaches...

I wonder what our galaxy looks like in their night sky.

What are the individual globs of light scattered throughout the picture?

It looks like something rammed its way through the middle of that galaxy and blew it apart.

Be sure to count the stars in the full image. Then realize this is just a small part of our galaxy, which itself is a small to middling size and then imaging 52 trillion more galaxies.
Of course that snapshot of the Universe is totally lifeless, without any intelligence living anywhere except in this obscure galaxy in the furthest reaches on one planet in a tiny solar system
There must be a surfeit of bridges for sale somewhere and fortunes to be made.

Looks like a smiley face with misplaced glowing eyes.
Seriously, thank you. The Heavens is a remarkable place and photos are always welcomed.

In the darkest region of the picture, there are stars packed from one side of the screen to the other. Literally stars and galaxies as far as anyone’s eyes can see.
