Astrophotography - 1st Shot please C&C

[Timoris]

Alright, so the only reason I have the camera I do now is because I wanted to get into Astrophotography.

The shooting location was not the best. Because I was in the Mountains, away from light, I had no access to East and South, where the Galactic Centre and Sagittarius arm are located at the moment. So right now we are in the region of Ursa Major. Just a blanket of stars.

Also, impossible to see on a Cathode Ray Tube Monitor.

EOS Canon 550d / T2i
f/4
30 sec

I think it could be lighter. Maybe a much longer exposure or use a lens that opens wider. Maybe even a higher ISO. Anything to let more light into the lens.

It can be a hard thing to get right. The few times I have tried my hand at photographing the night sky I came up way short.

Can wait to see your next shot.

Agree that it could be a bit lighter but I like it!
