Past My Bedtime

The endeavor to capture the milky way is complicated and challenging.
Staying up later than usual is one of the challenges (not real late, 9:30-10:30).
Finding the milky way is another issue. Light is a “pollution” for this goal. There are some places where you can readily see the milky way. Where I live is not one of them.
Scope brings its own problems. Even at 24mm, it takes a minimum fifteen exposures to stitch and fiddle with. LOTS of fiddling.
Still, I love the challenge.
