Description

I spent last weekend at my in-law's farm in Cuba, MO. Skies are very dark there, - Milky Way is easily visible to the naked eye. So I brought along the SkyTracker, T2i, and the 40STM lens. We had a great time, with a lot of people joining in the fun.

The Milky Way in this region was still rising, so there was a little ground light interference that I cropped out in version B. Also could have used some more integration time, but I needed to get to bed!

I also got a shot of the Cygnus region. Hope to have that processed and posted soon.

Thanks for looking!
