Emu in the Sky

Hi All,

This is an ultra-wide (14mm FF) view of the Emu rising above the Somuncura Plateau at the Argentinian Patagonia.
The skies there are really fantastic, nearest town is about 200km away and there're no small settlements, campings, nothing at all.

I planned to shoot several images to stack them but I run into some technical problems so this is an untracked single shot.

It's the first time I see the coalsack so clearly defined and now I notice how clear the head of the Emu looks.

Scorpius is rising at the bottom, Eta Carina at the top and you know the rest

Bonus: A terrestrial image showing how empty this place is:
