Backyard photo captures Milky Way and Southern Cross

An amateur astrophotographer in New Zealand shared a photo taken from their garden showing part of the Milky Way, with the Southern Cross and its pointer stars Alpha and Beta Centauri visible in the bottom left of the frame. The image, shot on an iPhone, has drawn small but warm engagement from people enjoying views of the southern night sky.
