Milkyway rising

This was my first attempt at astrophotography, A 1-2 AM one hour time

exposure in an urban environment .

Nice! I like the combination of stellar and urban components to this; even the light pollution doesn't detract IMO :-)

You can't go too far wrong with a Mamiya but it really doesn't matter about the camera, it's the photographer that makes the picture good or bad.

Excellent picture.

star trails always make for a good photo. I'd go out and do similarly from a wire-free vantage point. It's the only thing about this that detracts from it. How long were the exposures?

did u just take a picture of the stars and b/c were moving it blured????
