This is how the summer Milky Way (from the northern hemisphere) looks from a good site. This photo was taken at Stellafane (near Springfield, VT USA) on 6 August 1994. Film was Kodak TMAX 400, lens was a 28mm F2.8, exposure was 15 minutes, guided on a Celestron CG-11 telescope. B+W processing and printing by Joe Roberts. A host of Messier objects can be identified with the help of a star atlas. Note the dark lane structure evident in the Milky Way. If only the sky was like this from my backyard!
