I dont quite understand the milky way. I've only done this once, so excuse the noobie question, but does it slant on different days of the month or based on location? The nearest milky way was straight up and down when I saw it. Didnt see this diagonal milky way.

The position of the Milky Way in the sky depends of the time of the year, the time of the night (as it moves over time) and the location. The view is very different between the North and South Hemisphere.

Love the wide Wanaka shot Mikey. It's nice to see a different variation of the same scene.

You're welcome. If you have an ipad or an iphone, you can dowload the app GoSkyWatchPlanterium. You can enter a date, a time and a location and it gives you the position of the MW, the constellations and planets in the sky.
