Milky Way over the prairie

I waited for the milky way to get over top of the barn.

Great shot. What integration did you do? (number of shots and exposure of each).

thanks Edwin. this was with the fuji 100s ii. it wss 2 shots, 1 for the sky using 5 second f/4 iso 6400. the other shot was for the foreground, the settings were the same except for the shooter speed of 60 seconds. i ended up darkening it so could have gone 30ish seconds.

I want to try taking multiple photos and dark frames and stack them but I don't usually have access to dark skies.

that is incredible, only 5 s exposure to get the milkyway? What was the focal length of the lens? Must have been a very short fl? I assume it is not tracked?

thanks. 20-35mm @ 22.8mm. single shot of the sky, not tracked. i used photopills to figure out the shutter speed using the npf method, i can go up to 45mm with 5 seconds with this camera. it's a bit noisy when pixel peeping, but still very usable.

Yes, it is excellent. Well done. You must have been in a very small Bortle area.
