In the foreground is a hillside, across which are distributed six radio telescopes, with dishes pointing on various directions, some at an angle, one straight upwards. On the skyline of the hill are two observatory buildings, housing optical telescopes. Above in the dark night sky, the Milky Way rises vertically in the central of the view, above one of the radio telescopes.

Met an astronomer that night, he was a rock of a guy... Milky Way core over La Palma

In the dark night sky, the Milky Way stretches diagonally from top left to lower right, its dense band of stars standing out. Below are rolling mountains ridges extending down to the sea on the horizon. To the immediate right, a stone path curves around a large rocky overhang, and the outline of the overhang looks like the side profile of a face.

In the foreground is the rocky terrain on a mountain ridge, looking down to lower ridges and in the far distance, light from a town. In the dark night sky, an almost vertical Milky Way, with its concentration of stars and gas clouds, seems aligned with a vertical rock outcrop on the ridge. 2 vertical Tajinaste flowers plants are also sitting below on the ridgeline, silhouetted against the orange glow from the town way below.

In the foreground are salt pans, a grid like set of rectangular pools filled with water, and between the pools are pyramid shaped piles of drying salt. Above in the night sky, the Milky Way is transversing the sky in a diagonal, rising from lower right to upper left of view, its concentration of stars standing out against the backdrop.

A dark night view, with in the foreground a rolling range of mountain ridges, with some low cloud between some of them. Above in the clear night sky, the Milky Way rises in a diagonal line right to left, with its great concentration of stars and gas clouds standing out against a backdrop of fainter stars.

In the foreground is a monument consisting of a central column with its lower section surrounded by two semicirclar lower sections and a smaller column at a slanting angle from the base. The monument is surrounded by gorse bushes with yellow flowers. In the night sky behind, the Milky Way is rising as an arch, bisected by the monument. Through one of the monument's semicirclar sections, on the horizon, is Mount Teide on Tenerife.

The arch of the Milky Way is just rising above the horizon, and just over the silhouetted island of Tenerife, the peak of which is Mount Teide. The sky around the island is a gentle orange from light pollution.

The foreground is a rocky mountain edge, with further mountains in the background. Above in the night sky, the Milky Way arches across the sky, the long exposure capturing the intensity and contrast in the core. Between the Milky Way and the mountains, a streak of a shooting star is caught, descending almost vertically.

In the foreground, a rugged mountain side depends in a gentle diagonal left to right, with a rocky outcrop sticking up on the right. In the night sky above, the Milky Way creates a full arch across the sky, the detail captured by a long exposure star tracked image.

In the foreground are some rough rocks and boulders, interspace by some small bushes and flowers. Above, in the night sky, the Milky Way stretches in a slight diagonal up to the upper left, with the intensity of the core enhanced by using a long exposure on a startracker, revealing detail and colour that can hardly be seen with the naked eye.

In the foreground, a beach curves right to left in an arc, to meet a cliff projecting out into the sea. The end of the cliff has a sea arch on it. Above, in the sky, the Milky Way stretches diagonally, from lower right to upper left. To the left of the Milky Way, the bright path of a shooting star depends, parallel to the Milky Way.

here was my first real attempt at a tracked milky way! Was able to do a 90 second exposure at 85mm!! Nuts!
