Summer Milky Way Redux

Back up north, this time with a workding Takahashi Teegul Star Patrol II. Cute little mount, but sort of a bear to even roughly polar-align. Regardless, I did get one good 5-minute exposure off before the lens dewed up. I need to get a little Kendrick heater for this set-up. Taken with a Canon 1Ds Mark II, 24mm EF f/1.4L USM lens at f/4, ISO at 1600. Hope you enjoy it. I wanted to take several and stack them, but there were mechanical challenges.

Wonderful shot Jeff!
Looks like a great site to take pictures like these... how dark was it?
Also, what kind of processing you applied to this image?


Thanks for sharing!
