Description:
Backyard nightscape capturing some Milky Way across the lower half of the image, which is a 4 minute exposure through a 17 mm Canon wide angle lens on a Canon 760D DSLR, shooting at ISO 100 and looking Southeast. A tracking device (MSM Nomad) is preventing star trails, and, yes, that's a helicopter photo-bombing above the tree. The stray light at the lower right is from a neighbor's very bright flag pole light, too high to climb and extinguish, but, on the plus side, it does light up the tree.
