Default ASTRO: Milky Way wide-field

This is really cool shot George. Clear Skyz, LA

I gave up on this exposure after 60-seconds because of the cloud near the
horizon. Image taken with a Canon Rebel DSLR & 35mm F/4 lens on an Orion
EQ-1 mount at my rented camp on Indian Lake NY in mid August. People
familiar with this area of the sky will pick out the 'stinger' stars of
Scorpius (altitude 10 degrees when this pic was taken), M7, M6, and M20.

My
landlord thankfully has the yellow light on a timer to go out at 10:30 pm.
