I just got a Sigma 15mm fisheye and I'm wondering how it would look shooting the milky way? I haven't tried it yet (moon too bright right now) but I"m wondering if anyone else has ever done it? (I have my Canon 17-40 to fall back on.)

I think a fisheye adds a unique perspective, depending on how dark your sky is, and surrounding landscape, the FE would be a lens I'd want to experiment with for sure.

Post your results.

I did this one with the Canon 15mmFE, but then I corrected the distortion. Not much for a Milky Way shot, but the fog started rolling in heavy as soon as I got there.

I'll try it for sure as soon as the sky is darker... Luckily I live in the boonies so I don't have to drive too far to see it...
