Thank you Gary. It took a bit of climbing around in the dark to get the right angle, but it was worth it. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for looking John.

This was a particularly dark night. I normally manage to capture the Milky Way at between 2000 and 3200 ISO but on this night it didn't work.
The setting for this shot are: Nikon D800, 24-70mm f2.8 lens at 24mm and f2.8, ISO was 6400 and shutter was 1/20. I used this shutter speed because I was getting star movement if I went any slower. This is what cause the higher ISO setting.

Thanks for commenting and for asking.

Larry
