yeh Andrew I'm not sure - I could probably have processed it harder but am trying to resist that temptation.
When I compare with your
brilliant shot from SPSP a few years back, it makes mine pale in comparison - yours with less exposure in minutes too, but I guess the higher ISO definitely helped. I was capturing at ISO400.
At f/2.8 the 50mm f/1.8 would have quite a few seagulls in the corners (at f/4 it sill does), but it may be worth it to get more light in and then just crop the corners
I love your composition too, to get more of the milky way and not just the edge. Even with all the time it took for me to frame it
hmm looks like i'm gonna have to re-do this one

On Sunday night, even though I was dead tired from the pony club, I managed to setup and do a quick run on the same region.
Haven't had a chance to even look at the data yet but I'll post it as soon as I get a chance.

I can't wait to see it! Which camera did you use?

And, as Andrew says - Nice to see the artistic framing of the object and dark lanes.
That "nifty fifty" is a great lens - I've got the cheap plastic MkII version, but it is very sharp too.
You should get your paws on that modded DSLR you had access to and redo this pic for comparison! Do you do requests!!??
Nice stuff

Thanks Doug - the 50mm is one I bought off CometGuy for like $80 or something. It's a great lens for the price.
I'd love to do it with a modded camera - I'll have to hit 33South up and see if I can borrow the camera next new moon
Thanks guys.
