The Milky Way core
Astro-modified Canon EOS 600D and Samyang 14mm f/2.8 lens on a Vixen Polarie star tracker. 13 x 2-minute exposures at f/4 and ISO 6400. Frames stacked in Sequator software (to preserve the mountainside foreground); curves and colour balance adjusted in Cyberlink PhotoDirector.
Note that the result is quite different to the previously-posted image of the Milky Way through the trees because of the modified camera (which picks up light from the reddish emission nebulae more efficiently); the longer exposures using a star tracker; the use of a deep sky filter to reduce light pollution (not that there was much at this location).
