Have never shot anything sky-wise other than clouds and the moon.
I went out and shot the milky way last night and here is what I ended up with. I started getting the ISO dialed in to where I wanted it but the clouds moved in so had to leave. Thinking next time too, I will travel further away from Omaha. Didn't realize how far the light pollution goes. I was about 20-25 miles outside of the city for this. Also, probably shoot RAW next time too.
This is one exposure. Haven't read enough about stacking etc to know what to do. Also unedited since the edited image was to large to upload.
Shot with 18-55mm Kit Lens too
