Hi All!
Mercedes is a town 100km away from Buenos Aires, it has a nice observatory and much cleaner skies than heavily polluted Buenos Aires. Last time I went there I took this WA image of the southern milky way over a corn field:

(Click it to see larger in dim the lights mode)
It shows alpha & beta centauri, crux, the coalsack nebula and the Magellan clouds on the right side.
Taken with a Canon 5DII and a 17-40F4 lens fixed tripod, single exposure.
Cheers!
Luis
