Crusin the Milky Way II

Another fairly long exposure (~9 min) from July with some light pollution from Sacramento and Great Valley sprawl.
This took 4 attempts, and nearly an hour's worth of cell minutes to upload to Pbase. Seems to be getting more difficult to keep the gallery up.
Thanks to Ben Davies for bringing up the tracking device!

Nikon D200
530s f/6.3 at 14.0mm iso280 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Note the meteorite trail, lower right quadrant, about 45 degrees to vertical (or to the horizontal! ;-)
