Hi Taras,
What struck me with the new digital camera was how difficult it is to pick up the red emission nebula, compared to film. I considered taking out the sensor's filter but then again I want the camera to be usable in the daytime. Eventually, I want to get a second DSLR and maybe then I can have at least one of them modified for astrophotography so that it becomes more suitable for red sensitivity. In any case, I like how the camera picks up loads of faint stars and details in dust lanes so much faster than film  ))

Okay.........
You see I am no astrophotographer.... It really dosen't bother me if something looks unatural... But maybe you could read all the comments in the thread before jummping allover me..
Thanks...

Pat,
That looks so unnatural. Most astrophotographers try to go for a neutral dark gray, or sometimes dark blue sky. Your edit of the original image obliterates the subtle details in this region of the milky way. A detector without an infra-red filter, or a red sensitive film would have even brought out the nebulae in this region.

Thanks Pat! I very much appreciate your feedback. I agree that the sky on this photo is maybe a bit too grey. A little more contrast between the Milky Way and sky is an improvement.
However, I tend to like my night sky photos not to look pure black on purpose. The reason for this is that even from the most remote locations on Earth, the sky to the dark adapted eye never looks black. Things that can contribute to night sky colors include natural airglow luminesence, zodiacal light, auroras and atmospheric such as thin clouds, haze, fog or pollution. The effect is of course most pronounced near the horizons, which is where I did this photo.
Thanks again! Really great photos you have!! :0)

The meter in your camera wants to make make the black sky neutral grey. don't be afraid to correct for this. You can do it in the camera by under exposing, maybe two stops or more. Or in photoshop.
I have a question. Wouldn't a 5+ minute exposure leave trails from the movment of the stars?

I sure hope so Shane. Hopefully we get lots of nice weather too this summer. I know that I still got *lots* to learn about photography. It's a fun ride. Maybe you can show me some tips on how to get some great wildlife photos like you have )
