The smudgy object moving near center is the Large Magellanic Cloud. The bright star moving between the pillars is Canopus, the Carina region is to the bottom right and the Southern Cross just comes into view at the top right, a satellite also zips through just for good measure. The images were shot under an almost first quarter moon so the sky is not dark but this does help to illuminate the foreground.
