Thanks for all the nice comments

I'm using the Tokina 10-22mm I'll have to check on what settings I used...check back for more!
I'm pretty positive Tokina does not make a 10-22mm. Canon has the EFS 10-22.

Tokina has the 11-16, which I have (awesome lens btw), and the 12-24.

Are they chopped or what? Even with the proper filters and exposures the Earth's atmosphere can't possibly allow you to see something like that or can it?

Mmmm, I will have to try with my Sigma 10-20mm too... when it stops raining, that is

Thx for the info GiftOfGab! The XTI is a nice camera, quite a bit of control for the user.

You'll be surprised what you can see from Earth. I posted this in the Astronomy thread a couple weeks ago. With the right frames and exposures you can take some breathtaking pictures. Humans can see the hues given off from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy in some locations of the Earth. Light pollution is a huge problem in cities so it's difficult.

In a clear, dark sky, thousands of stars seemingly melt into a large diffuse creamy band. The dazzling photo above shows the Milky Way over Weikersheim (in southern Germany) on the night of July 19, 2006. Only a few degrees above the southern horizon, our Milky Way's centre is settled within the constellation of Sagittarius.

Photo details: Canon EOS 20D, 18 - 50 mm lens, focal length of 25 mm. It's a composite of a normal rgb frame (5 x 10 min. at ISO 400) and a h-alpha frame (6 x 10 min. at ISO 1600). The sharp horizon is a separate exposure, which was later fit to the sky image.
