During summer I had the opportunity to try out the Nikon D750 with the kit lens (24-120mm) shooting the milky way, which was in a vertical orientation. Night sky photography is so special and so interesting. Next year, I hope to be able to capture the milky way at a less light polluted area.
Nice photo! Who says a kit lens is garbage?
Nobody! It's a very decent lens and using it with a star tracker you are able to stop it down about a stop for a much better performance!
I feel like I've been working with kit lens all my life!
Great shot tho, I'd crop in the photo so everything looks more symmetrical :)
Cheers!
