Description

This is my first attempt at doing something wide-field. Normally I live under really intense light pollution conditions just outside of a major city, but this weekend I was out at my cousins who live further away and in darker skies. I could actually faintly see the milky way for the first time. Additionally I was able to use a much better camera than normal which added reason to the fact that I should try. Ironically I seem to have to taken the reverse path as a lot of people as I started out imaging DSO's rather than starting out with my generic sky so I am not used to processing any images of this sort. I do hope that the techniques I use for DSO's are the same I am supposed to use for wide shots as that is what I did.
