The image was taken by Gilles Cohen using the SBIG ST2000C one shot color camera in a heavily light polluted area of southern France. 20 exposures of 5 minutes each, 155 EDF refractor mounted on a 900 mount, processed in Photoshop.

Frankly, I'm surprised that a one shot color camera can do this well.

There's wonderful detail in this image Roland, and the tracking seems to be dead on...
I would love to know the techniques to achieve such a good result, specially from a heavily light polluted sky... (just like mine)

Thanks,
