Above us

Only sky?

Camera on tripod, pointing overhead to where I know the Milky Way is in relation to our planet's current position/rotation. Experimented with exposure time - 20 to 25 seconds worked well, shot in RAW.

Have spent an hour looking through them this morning, on my little notebook computer, very excited at having captured the Milky Way and impressed that this little computer has allowed me to use lightroom to process the RAW files.

Now, I need to figure outa place we can go where there is a decent, non light polluted vista that I can include in the images I take. A holiday mission.
