This photograph is right at the limits of unguided fixed tripod imaging of astronomical subjects. I have been intrigued with other's photos that use "stacking" of multiple exposures to build detail in the Milky Way but I wanted to take a run at shooting it with a single pass shot in dark skies without an equatorial mount. This is the result.
I wish the manufacturers of outdoor lighting would get together and produce products with identical color temperature - it would make color balance a lot easier instead of trying to balance whites for each type if light!!
For some reason this image shifted a bit to the + magenta side when I posted it - this will probably be the last of the still evening time exposures for a while - big storm approaching the west coast this afternoon and the moon is getting fuller washing out the lush dark blue night time skies
