Myself and my mate Dennis shooting the milky way at lake Ellesmere after a workshop

Usually I'm beat after spending several hours teaching, not normally a people person but I love doing this stuff.. Still kills me..

But couldnt resist shooting this and getting Dennis in the frame on the right

@Rjdlandscapes I was going to ask about exposure length etc. Thanks for providing it. Must have taken a while get that shot.

@alexproe yeah it's 20-30 min overall for an average pano if nothing funky is going on

@Rjdlandscapes The time spent getting that capture was worth it IMHO. Fabulous image! I'd have to get well out of the city to see such a sky.

@alexproe yeah this was about an hour out of Christchurch even so lots of light pollution

@Rjdlandscapes I might be able to escape the light pollution an hour or so outside Milan...by heading north into the mountains, probably. Have seen amazing skies inland from the Liguria coast. So many stars! Didn't have the gear (or ability) to capture them though. NZ may be darker than Italy!
