Mt. Whitney and the Milky Way

Fell asleep under this for a few nights.. .  zzz   Didn't sleep too well above the tree line. 

I apologize for the smaller size here.

above the tree line.

That is an amazing picture!  How did you get the milky way to show up like that?

Best regards

I'm sure it was well worth the time above the treeline. (smile)

I'd love to know shutter time.  There seems to be very little star movement, and a nice crispness between sky and mountains.

Hi Joe & Christi,

I believe the shutter was at 25 or 30 seconds.  The Milky way isn't as prominant in the sky right now as it was in summer.  There was a fair amount of noise reduction I had to do to the file but I also use a technique that minimizes it too.
