It doesn't look like you used a long focal length lens, so I could say a 18mm could do the trick :) I wonder what kind of lens did you guys use to shoot it. a 18mm-55mm can do it?

I've had my best results shooting with a lens that gives you about 35mm. I use f1.8 and an ISO of 1600. Remember, batteries don't work as well in the cold, so bring extras.

I'm just getting into astrophotography. It is amazing how much deeper into the sky you can see. On my first try I also did a little light painting with a flashlight on the surrounding trees. Here is one image : http://bit.ly/fBo1Uy Great shot Lisa. I’m just getting into astrophotography. It is amazing how much deeper into the sky you can see.

I remember my first time shooting the milky way as well. It was earlier this year at Yellowstone and I had a blast doing it. Here's what I was able to get! http://flic.kr/p/8ww23x Great post!

I just got a Canon T1i and was thinking of taking some moon/star pictures when it clears up. I have some previous SLR experience, but have only shot a few night shots. Now I at least know where to start to get a hopefully great photo. Your photo is beautiful! Thanks, Lisa! I just got a Canon T1i and was thinking of taking some moon/star pictures when it clears up.

I've always been interested in Astronomy myself. When I was a teenager, I built an 8" reflecting telescope. One of these days, I'd like to get a really nice telescope like a Meade and try my hand at Astrophotography. Thanks for sharing your talent and love for photography with the rest of us. I really enjoy your site. That’s a really nice photo of the night sky. I’ve always been interested in Astronomy myself. When I was a teenager, I built an 8″ reflecting telescope.
