Milky Way Shooting

[nmoore6]

Hey guys,

 

So I got a great deal on a 14mm f/2.8 lens, and I'd like to try my hand at a milky way shot. I'm getting very conflicting information online as to when milky way "season" is, and was hoping someone could help me out. I live on the east coast of the United states (massachusetts). Thank you!

The core of the milky way is best around july or August
