2 minutes unguided? Is that using stacking? Would love to have a go at this type of photography...

Really nice image! As I don't have the necessary equipment (or patience) for astrophotography, I really enjoy seeing other people's examples. It's funny, I've managed to do stuff like this using Photoshop or the Gimp, but I have to say that actual astrophotos have so much of their own appeal, both aesthetically and in more scientific ways. This is great.

@tommorules- Actually, I'm incorrect - I gave that description from memory. Doing some digging around, I found the data: Shot with Pentax *ist Ds DSLR (DSLR I had before the Canon). Single exposure, 30 seconds with ISO set at 1600 — unguided using just a stable tripod — no stacking. 14 mm lens. Here's the EXIF data straight from the original pic: Color Space: sRGB Contrast: Normal Custom Rendered: Normal process Date Time Digitized: 2006:04:30 05:07:38 Date Time Original: 2006:04:30 05:07:38 Exif Version: 2.2.1 Exposure Bias Value: 0 Exposure Mode: Manual exposure Exposure Program: Manual Exposure Time: 30 Flash: Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode FlashPix Version: 1.0 FNumber: 5.6 Focal Length: 14 Focal Length In 35mm Film: 21 ISO Speed Ratings: 1600 Metering Mode: CenterWeightedAverage Pixel X Dimension: 3008 Pixel Y Dimension: 2000 Saturation: Normal Scene Capture Type: Standard Sensing Method: One-chip color area sensor Sharpness: Normal Subject Distance Range: Macro White Balance: Manual white balance Focus Mode: 0 Lens ID: 1277 Lens Model: smc PENTAX-DA 14mm F2.8 ED[IF]
