Description

The weather has been pretty terrible this summer but it was finally clear for the last week or so, and I decided to use my 14mm whilst my main setup was busy just to see whether the Milky Way would be visible, and to my surprise I could make it out in just a single image.
The colours seemed weird to me at first but all I did was a Color Calibration and slight saturation boost, and overall I'm very happy with this, especially for how polluted my skies are.

Shot at f/5.6.
