Awesome! I wish I did this one. If the Milky Way wasn´t that over processed it would definetely deserve 5 star rating.

Yeah I agree should have toned it down a notch :))) thanks man ♥️

Milkyway has some color artifacts - the blue / green splotches at the lower-left and lower-right at the horizon. Looks like the star shots were over-processed a bit. Milkyway core also appears blurry.

Daaaaaaamn! Excellent 👏🏼👏🏼

For anyone wondering and maybe expecting to see the Milky Way like this from this location...

This is a composite image. I'll try and explain. You pretty much only see this much of the Milky Way from the southern hemisphere. You can't see the Southern Cross (in approx 2 o'clock position in this image) from Iceland.

From Iceland you would only see from about the central bulge of the Milky Way to the lower left of this image with the central bulge skimming the southern horizon and the lower left of the image would pretty much be right over head from Iceland. All the Milky Way from the central bulge to the right hand side of this image is never visible from Iceland as it is too far north to see this southern section of the Milky Way. Just feel it is only fair people are aware of this rather than going to this location and then being disappointed.

Regardless, apart from all that, it is a nice shot. Like others have said, it is a little over processed in the bulge of the Milky Way. I like the detail on the plane and the lighting on it.
