Hi Res milky way 50mm lens

Hi all
The other night I broke out the 50mm f1.8 standard Canon lens. I sat the IDAS LPS filter on the front of the lens and stopped down to f5.6, to try and get perfect image quality.

Image is 6x10 minutes, with modded 350D. I guided as carefully as if I was using the 300mm lens or 6 inch scope

Sky was somewhat hazy, not very dark, milky way was only just visible naked eye.

ful res. version here

Id love to try this with a modded 500D with its extra resolution.
