Milky Way rises above the Castle

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Good afternoon MystiQ,

Glad you like this beginner's version of mine too!

The above image was captured on Sunday, 4 May 2014 @ 4:21am local time
Orientation: SouthEast

Capture details
-----------------
D700 14mm
f/5.6 20s ISO 2000
WB Auto
High ISO NR: On (Low)
Long Exposure NR: On
Post processing software: Capture NX 2

Due to my very limited post processing knowledge, this is the best I could come up with. I do hope to improve on it, of course.

The whole process is documented in my Facebook Page.

# Have a great weekend!

Thank you very much for the encouragement, Airconvent.

The colours are obviously off, but I was totally loss in the post processing!
