Summer Preview

Hi All: it was around 5:30am when I took this photo with my Digital Rebel on my Eq mount with a zoom lens. 400ASA and 80-200mm EOS lens. Nice preview of summer!
Clear skies, Ivan

Sweet!. From my dark Colorado mountain location, the milky way look's pretty close to that. Unfortunately that exact location of your shot has a big mountain in the way!

Great shot, Ivan! But I really shouldn't look at all these neat Rebel shots. Makes the purchase urge a little too strong.

Summer skies bring the haze and humidity for us east coasters, so I cherish those rare great nights like the one you've captured.

Keep up the good work.

You shot that with a DRebel and zoom lens!?! Very nice. I've been considering an DSLR, but haven't talked myself (or my checkbook) into it yet. How long was that exposure? What's the longest exposure you've shot with an acceptable noise level?
