Milky Way - May 2007 - Southern

Click image above to view full size
This image shows the southern Milky Way high above the horizon to the south. The Large Magellanic Cloud is visible in this image also, near the horizon.

I am pleased with the contrast and general results in the area of the Milky Way near the top of the image, considering the night was partly cloudy and generally contrast was low.

There is no light pollution at this location so all colour in the image is "natural" (as much as it can be for a digital camera).
Camera:Canon 350D
Lens/Telescope:Canon 17 - 40mm F4 L @ 17mm
Aperture:F/5.6
Date:20th May 2007 (just after midnight on the night of 19-20th)
