Nicely done, still some detail visible in the tail despite the impact of moonlight.

The Magellanic clouds, I took this a week ago. Sony A7III with a 20mm prime lens, 10 seconds ISO 3200. Pretty close to what I see from my place, but hardly any color when viewed with the naked eye.

You're welcome! It's cloudy to my South at the moment, I'll get you a proper photo when the sky clears.

This was taken with a GoPro from my rural property in Queensland, Australia in April, 2021. The Magellanic clouds are setting as the Emu is rising.
That is close to what it looks like with the naked eye on a night with no moon, except that the colors are less vivid to the naked eye.
