Time-lapse footage from the Chiltern Valley, Victoria caught an epic sight of the Milky Way above a lightning storm bringing incandescent colours to the rural area.<br /><br />Astrophotographer, Patrick Guerrisi, from Melbourne was surprised after he left his camera on for eight hours to find that not only the Milky Way was caught on camera but also a lightning storm.<br /><br />Guerrisi explained: "I captured when I went away in country Victoria with family for a weekend. <br /><br />"The area has nearly zero city lights so the stars looked absolutely spectacular even with the naked eye. <br /><br />"I have never seen so many stars lighting up the sky like a Christmas tree before. <br /><br />"I set my camera up outside in hopes to get a cool Milkyway time-lapse and went to sleep, I was not expecting a lightning storm to enhance it.<br /><br />"I actually thought it would of ruin my time-lapse!"<br /><br />The footage was captured on February 5.
