View of Milky Way in Southern Alberta

June 20, 2010

I drove all the way to the Highway 21 and 564, about 40km east of Calgary in order to get away from the light pollution. I’m glad I did the results were worth it.

I first tried shooting with my Scotch mount. Unfortunately I didn’t put much effort into where it was aimed and took pictures of an uninteresting section of the sky.

Afterwards I re-aimed my camera at a section of the Milky Way and fired off as many 30 second frames as I could until my battery died. I only got 3 frames fired off but fortunately I got some half-decent results.
