Congratulations to the winners!
I would edit out the lights at the bottom and I would have taken more shots "around" the milky way to make it "breathe" a little more. Still a very cool shot. 3 stars.
This image currently sits at 2.19! Really? That low? Maybe I'm just a MW fan boy. But, this image deserves the 4 I gave it. Especially for a first attempt. Do you recall your settings?
Thanks a lot.

I've been experimenting with the 500 Rule with my Milky Way attempts. But, I've found the results a bit too noisy. It seems that your exposure time was about half that of what the 500-Rule would recommend. Did you do this for noise reduction?
Yes i used the 500 rule but i am on a APS-C sensor, so i have to adjust to that. So: 500/(17*1,5)= 19 secs. so i went for 15secs. Iso settings were just what seemed to me as right by judging the backscreen result.
