The Backbone of Night
Normally you can't see the Milky Way this clearly from a backyard in the city. But I took 20 exposures of 20 seconds each and combined them with 6 dark frames in DeepSkyStacker and then converted the resulting 32-bit TIFF into an 8-bit JPEG using Photoshop's HDR function.
This section of the Milky Way is at the zenith, or directly overhead from 44° N.
