I had seen many pictures of the milky way and central bulge and had always wanted to try and capture it, So one night I bit the bullet, set my camera up to what I thought would be the right settings to use.......including trying to work out how long I could have the exposure for before it would trail.......I'm pretty happy with the result. You can see the sign so its no secret where it was taken. Its about an hours drive from home.......... 2 hours total driving, 53 sec exposure, 5 mins to set up at location......the misses saids I was crazy. I aggreed.......should have taken the a scope with me and stayed longer....not what she meant I figured out later!!!:shrug:
I posted a link to the photo in my flicker page above so you can see it full size. press "L" to get full effect. thanks for all the comments.
