Description This was shot a few day after I am still trying to sort out the proper technique to shooting the galaxy. I also added a little flash light painting to try deal with the stray ambient light that the keeps invading sections of the image!

Nice photo of the galaxy, but you should correct the lens distortion of your ww-lens. The building is a little bit disturbing because it's not rectified. Colors are great.

I did edit one with the barrel distortion removed! I personally like it better this way!

Thanks! Shoot extreme high Iso, 6400 is what i shot this one at. Use your widest angle lens and do not expose for more than 30 seconds at your widest aperture. The stars start showing trails noticeably at 20 seconds. You being from Norway should have really cool opportunities with sky phenomena! I am hoping to be able to see the Aurora this year. I have only once seen it with my naked eye in 2004. I live to far south of the pole to have constant opportunities, so its gotta be a pretty severe storm in order for me to see! But i keep tracking with space weather, and if it looks like there is a chance of seeing I am ready to run out and set up the gear!

Nice, i will definitely try your method out.

Im actually from Northern Norway and ive seen alots of Aurora Borealis', but here in south of Norway it is really rare to see with your naked eye. It is quite the sight though!
