Thumbs up Widefield Milkyway from Kulnura

Hi guys

I took this shot on Saturday night, 15th September, at our new moon meetup at Kulnura, on the Central Coast of NSW.

Canon 350D + Sigma 17-70mm lens @ 25mm, f/4.0, ISO1600.

5 x 300s exposures, Camera ICNR on, mirror lockup on.

The 5 lights were rotated (bad drift alignment) and stacked (average) in Images Plus. Processing in Photoshop adjusted saturation, curves and levels.

I'm really happy with how this turned out, it's probably my best widefield milkyway shot so far. The two attachments are the same image - I've just tried a couple of different things with web presentation as well (feedback is appreciated )

Thanks for looking.

EDIT: I replaced one with the reprocessed version.
