Well, I got outside tonight and really did some stuff. This is a total of 2 minutes exposure with 15s images and one dark frame. There were no clouds this time. I can't pull any more detail out, this was around the area of the galaxy right now, but I guess there's wayy too much light pollution.
I really like this picture, it's kind of artsy.
