[APML] The Summer Milky Way - 16mm

["Chris Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi all -

Here's another shot done from CA during my last night of imaging.  Taken
after 3am just before the thin crescent Moon rose and after some pesky
cirrus clouds moved off to the south.

I used the Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye stopped down 1/2 stop to improve the
corner star images.  I let the GM-8 track on its own.

Visually, I could trace the Milky Way out as far as you see in the
photo.....minus the color of course..... <g>  The Prancing Horse Dark Nebula
was easily visible.

Comments welcome.
Enjoy.

Chris
