Southern Milky Way

Click image above to view full size
This image of the Southern Milky Way was taken on my first night with the 350D.

Taken at a very light polluted location it took quite some effort to remove as much of the light gradient as I have. Still, there is a lack of contrast because of this.

The image shows the Southern Cross & Pointers (alpha and beta centauri), Eta Carinae, the Coal Sack, and a little more of the Milky Way.
Camera:Canon EOS 350D (unmodified)
