The Milky Way in 8 minutes

Here is a view of the Milky Way and its core.

Taken with a Canon 600D (unmodified) equipped with a 18-55 mm kit lens and mounted on a meade lxd75 mount.

 

Where I am disapointed on this picture, is that we clearly see 2 totally differents parts :

At the top, the sky is natural (black) in contrast to the bottom where the center of our galaxy is hidden behind light pollution of nearby cities...

But I can not do anything except offsetting this in software
