Another Image of the Home Galaxy

Of all the galaxies out there, I gotta say that the Milky Way is my favorite.

Here's an image from May of the Cygnus area of the Milky Way. In the full size version, you can make out the North America Nebula, the Pelican Nebula, the Butterfly Nebula, the Crescent Nebula, most of the Veil Nebula, and even the planetary nebula, M27 (also known as the Dumbbell Nebula).

Canon EOS 60Da, 40mm f/2.8 lens at f/3.5. 34 minute exposure (17 x 2 minutes) at ISO 1250.
Tracked using the iOptron SkyTracker.
