1st Milky Way

Just wanted to say thanks for all your great posts here. I am headed up to Yosemite this weekend to try for the Milky Way over Half Dome. So last night I went out into the country for a practice run; probably a little too much smog down here in the valley but I was happy enough with my first attempt.

I'd be happy with that if it was my 100th attempt!

Beautiful shot! Took my breath away!

You can be happy, it's a wonderful shot !

Stunning image! Can't wait to see what you come up with in Yosemite.

Yep, if I can get a shot like that first time out I'll be more than happy

Damn well done on your first one id be pretty happy with that

Very nice Maureen.

Nice capture! I will be traveling to the Yosemite area on Friday and I hope I can get some nice shots as well! Good luck and hopefully California treats me well

I'm taking the fam out this Saturday to a dark site that was included in our family membership to our local astronomy club, and we'll be trying astrophotography for the first time. I'll be ECSTATIC if I get anything close to this good! Amazing shot!

Super shot Maureen. Well done

Great shot, now we are expecting more!:p

Well thanks you everyone. I found it quite easy after seeing & reading all your great work here over the months & years.

ExSrAaron: If you are up at Glacier Point Friday night, look for a bunch of old duffers with their tripods set up at the east lookout point I will be the younger one in the group,
