Awesome! No damn skyglow
Awesome! No damn skyglow in that spot ;) Dark skies.
What setup are you running? Tracked shot I presume for a 25s exposure? What camera/lens?

No tracking, No stacking
ONE single shot using a Canon 5Diii locked off with a Tokina 11-16@15mm ISO 3200 f2.8 25sec.....Easy...took a timelapse this morning with those settings and it will be polished out at 4K res. HahahahahaA$$$$...could do 5K but not getting greedy :)

Uaing a "stills" camera for timelapse...
Can produce a 4K image for future sales in the motion picture industry....whilst still having high quality "frame grabs"...win win

Fathom do you do much of
Fathom do you do much of this? I was pretty keen on it years ago. Have you got any more pics of this stuff you would be happy to share? I always wanted to get a good shot of the Orion Nebula, the Crab Nebula and the Pleiades. Got any of those?

I do a bit
Got more pics I could share but wouldn't have a clue what I'm actually photographing, just got a merlin tele tracker today which is a go-to mount, can program it to "go to" a particular planet or such and track it, if I wanted but have another use for it.

Interesting
Not sure, but I suspect that global warming would have something ot do with it...
Seems to be the reason for everything else......

6??
Originally battled to see 6. Then got them (I think)
But now I can see 8? My eyes started playing dot to dot.
Brilliant shot.

Awesome picture!!! Those
Awesome picture!!! Those streaks could be small meteors or bits of space junk burning up.
Thanks for sharing how you captured this photo. I've yet to try high ISO...but my point and shoot max out at ISO 400. At best, I've just been playing with some constellations with 15 sec exposure at ISO 400.
Maybe time for an upgrade for me...
