Best of the southern skies... and Kiama lighthouse!

Some of the best parts of the southern skies: Nova Cen 2013, Crux (the Southern Cross) and the Jewel Box open star cluster, the Coal Sack, Eta Carinae and the Carina nebula, the Omega Centauri globular star cluster... they can all be seen in this wide-field image. Not to be outdone, the Kiama Lighthouse throws a beam of light into the night sky as well. :)
