A shot of the Milky Way that I took at Cherry Springs State Park with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel on Monday morning is posted at the URL that appears below. I extend my thanks to Tom Bakowski for the use of his 15mm f/2.8 Canon EF fisheye lens and Orion SkyView Deluxe equatorial mount.

Thanks for the compliments on my photo. The camera was set at f/3.2 for the 4.5 minute long exposure.
