Fabulous shot! May I ask a few off the main topic questions? Do you use a tracker? How many shots did you stack?
I was reasearching trackers for Astro Photog when I stumbled into the Laser habit. Put off my purchase.
I'll follow up on the Astro thread. Thanks!!

Thanks fo the suggestions. I read some coments about the Laserlands 520nm 5mw pointer. That seem to be quite bright for the nominal values.
For astronomy use the 5mW range of the tested pointers was not quite enough to have a group of people around the astronomer have a good sight on the beam in a moonlit night. We had good experience with 20mW green pointers whereas 50mW were too bright in a dark night as it affects night adaption.

Yes.
They claim <1mW to get around the eBay rules, but everyone buying them knows that they are a lot more powerful, especially when they say they can burn matches etc.
Also, speaking of The Milky Way, just wanted to share a photo with you that I took out of my back yard.
I can only imagine how wonderful the Milky Way would look from your dark location.
Cheers
