You start by having very, very dark skies. Then you put your camera on a decent tripod, point it towards the Milky Way (and if you can't see it with the naked eye then your skies aren't dark enough) set the exposure to 30s, f2.8, ISO1600 focus manually at infinity and take a shot with a remote release. Chimp to check result, adjust ISO to optimise.

I'd also suggest you have the noise reduction switched on too?

These pics have convinced me to sell my walk-around for this lens! Great pics guys!

Just shot this at a lake near my house this evening. Edited slightly in LR3.

Took at Supercar Saturdays last Saturday. A little processing using LR3.

Hello

^beautiful shot and processing! I'm still missing two lenses I've always wanted in your sig.

now thats a good example what ISO did u use?

weird i missed your question (better late than ever)


it was ISO 800 (on a canon 7d)

A crappy photo,but I wanted to share it, I lightened it up a little so you could see the moon flare

The lens hood was off, because I didn't think sun flare would be a problem.. Wrong again

took the shot last night, was trying for milky way shots, but the moon was way too bright and couldn't get any decent ones camera was pointed almost straight up,
