This is my first time shooting the Milky Way without a WA lens. Let me know what everyone thinks. Thanks for looking. :)

EDIT: I forgot to mention this shot is stacked in DSS with JPEGs and not RAW. I have yet to stack the raw files. Sorry if I mislead anyone.

Very nice shot, good color and clear. Did you use the 6D/24-105L? What was the ISO?

Thanks StillCrazy. I did use the 24-105L at 35mm, f/4 and ISO 6400 for 15 seconds.

Very nice but RAW would be much better cause then you can edit a lot more and edit the WB better .

Thanks for the kind words. I'll make sure to post the RAW file here when I finish processing it in DSS & LR4 so we can see the difference. :)

Can you explain what you mean by "stacked"?

I'm guessing you mean multiple shots on top each other!?!?
How is this done?

By the way, that pic is awesome!!
