Night Sky Milky Way in Cyprus

[Gerr]

I've just got back from a holiday in Cyprus where I enjoyed two weeks of great weather and cloudless skies. The first week was crescent moon and Milky Way opportunities abounded so the camera and star tracker came out and I had some fun grabbing a couple of shots.

The first image is a Milky Way panorama over the Troodos Mountains where I did tracked images of the sky (ISO640, f4 at 40sesonds) with a Canon 6D (astro modded) and Rokinon 24mm lens.

The second image was taken at Aphrodites rock with a 50mm lens (ISO640, f2.8 at 30 secs) also tracked shots.

Images were stitched in PTGui and processed in Photoshop CC.  No calibration frames.

Just happy to see the night sky again!!

Hope u like.

Both images are beautiful. But the second one takes my breath away. Just brilliant.
