The bright line is actually an antenna on my house roof.

A little tweaking in paint shop pro bought out the Milky way more.

Don't you know you're not supposed to take a shot that good on a tripod Andrew. All the books say so! Great stuff.

Thanks Paul, I will try again in RAW format to see if I can get it better.
