Milky Way north of the Sagittarius star cloud with M11 at top and M16/M17 near the lower left.
The northern milky way is fascinating, but less photogenic than the Sagittarius star clouds. Dark lanes criss-cross the region. This was taken with a 50 mm f1.4 Nikkor lens stopped down to f2 or f2.8 attached to an SBIG STL6303e CCD camera and a Meade goto mount for tracking. Processed in Photoshop CS4.
