Way to go Roger.

Your image is very nicely composed with the MW at a diagonal and your coastline at a diagonal also.

90 seconds to 2.5 minutes in hindsight may've worked even better. Gee, 5 minutes would be even better!

I have found 90 seconds gives a compromise to the slightly blurred foreground but saturates the MW well. But foreground untracked and sky tracked means you have the freedom to go longer and use lower ISO and protect dynamic range (it drops heavily as you up the ISO ve 1600) and lower noise overall significantly. 2.5 minutes at ISO3200 I would estimate is close to an ideal setting for a 6D.

Greg.
