The Milky Way from inside my Observatory

Hello everyone,

Here's an image I did not long after I first got my Canon EOS. It's a composite image which shows the Milky Way as seen at the time from my backyard observatory.

Telescope: Piggybacked Camera on Telescope.
Camera: Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel (not modified).
Exposures:
Image of the Milky Way
2 x 5 minutes f/5.6 focal length 46mm ISO200
Image of Telescope
30 seconds f/5 focal length 18mm ISO1600
Total Exposure time 10 minutes for Milky Way.
Filter/equipment. Used Canon 18-55mm lens.

Even though I took the image some time ago - I still like it and thought everyone should see it too !

Best regards
Paul Mayo
