I decided last year to capture the Milky Way while its in its splendour, down under, from horizon to horizon. From my dark site observatory.

Modified Canon 20D, 4 x 20 secs each, no tracking at all, standard Canon 18-55mm lens at 18mm, F3.5, ISO 3200.

Images Plus and Photoshop for creating the mosaic (using the merge photo command)

Greg.
