This is my second attempt at shooting the Milky Way, and I am quite pleased with the result, although there is still room for improvement. It is a composite of 91 overlapping images, taken on a dirt road near Tala Game Reserve, near Eston, KZN last night.
Stunning shot. How much time between shots to create the overlapping images?

The exposure time for each shot was 20 seconds and then about the same time after each shot for the file to write to the memory card. So I was sitting in the dark, in the middle of nowhere, for a few hours!
That's pretty awesome, taking into consideration, that the earth spins at approximately 1500Km an hour, which loosely translates to 500 meters per second or approximately 16Km per shot, I was surprised that the dots were not elongated, but I suppose the low exposure would not bring that out so much.
Love your pics. Keep it up, I am always impressed and looking forward to the next pic that you post.
