New Jersey Milky Way

This was my first try using a star tracker to photograph the Milky Way locally in a yellow light pollution zone. It took way longer than expected to align the tracker with Polaris, especially since it was a pretty cold night. I think I got reasonably close (although certainly not perfect). Next time I'll stop down to f/4 to help the sharpness in the corners. Taken with an iOptron Skytracker Pro for about 3 minutes.
