Milky Way over Quinag

coachmanphotos has added a photo to the pool:

Milky Way over Quinag

My first attempt at the milky way using the Canon S90 and CHDK to give me 30 second exposures.

The bright star in the middle of the photo is Altair at the top of the Aquila constellation.

The brightest star on the right is Vega - part of the Lyra constellation.

The brightest star at the top of the picture is Deneb at the top of the Cygnus constellation.

This is a panorama of two photos. The bottom half is 14 minutes in total (stack of 28 x 30 second exposures - would have been 15 minutes if not for the plane flying across). The top half is only 5 minutes due to clouds coming in.
