Amazing pic Andy. Never get to see that part of the Milky Way up here.
Cheers Samy, maybe you need to move to Florida, Texas or Hawaii ?
Here is a link to a wider view with the Rokinon 14mm showing the Small and Large Magellanic clouds and there's a pano Milky Way over Vlamingh Head Lighthouse in Western Asutralia linked above in my reply to Leighton you might like.
Andy, I really meant the southern sky and the Magellanic clouds that you can see only in the southern hemisphere. But yes, I can't see many stars at all, anywhere in the Baltimore-Washington suburbs, too much ugly light pollution.
Thanks for linking to the wider view!!!

Thanks for the likes and comments on my last set. Yesterday I took the boys out on a forest hike looking for edible mushrooms. We found a few chanterelles enough for a nice sandwich. We also went by our little grow house to check on the 2021 harvest, looks pretty good.
All shots taken with the 55/3.5 ai and the D800.

No worries. Yeah, I meant that you can see the Southern Cross from those places, if not the entire southern sky.
Crazy isn't it, never seen the Milky Way myself in the UK, moved to Australia and you can just walk outside and see it in a lot of suburbs.
I passed my HR truck license today, yay ! HR stands for Heavy Rigid, basically a bus, crane, non-articulated truck over 9 tonnes with more than 3 axles, even a bendy bus.
Just need to put in for my DA (Driver's Authorisation) application to be able to drive anything with passengers.
I can take a test in 12 months if I want to drive a HC - Heavy Combination, an articulated truck.
Anyways, I told you that I'm staying near the Brisbane CDB with views from the end of the street.
Taken with the Fuji X-T2 that I had repaired + 28mm f/2 AIS. Unfortunately, I should have taken the Z6II as I ahve forgotten what little I had learned of the Fuji system and they had done a Factory Reset when testing it before sending it back to me.
Thanks, James!
The scanning-folks over at the paper I shot for were not so happy with the borders.
I've used 250-sheet-boxes of Ilford Multigrade RC-paper too and sometimes the stuff from Tetenal.
I miss the Neopan 400 and 1600 from Fuji, prefered this film over the Ilford HP5.
Today I'm happy that HP5 is still around.

Love that one and the tone, Georg. Looks just like I remember Ilford satin finish polycontrast paper printed with an old Leitz enlarger using a Nikon f2.8 enlarging lens. Even the border is the way I use to print. (the press was paying for the paper then) I would go through a 250 sheet box so fast it wasn't funny to the editorial tech tasked with keeping supplies on hand for all the advertising and editorial photographers. Burning and dodging with my hands - I knew just where to place them back then - sure that skill is gone now.
