If anyone wondered what is milky way. It is the galaxy that contains our solar system. The milky way is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter between 100,000 and 180,000 light years. And it contains 100-400 billion stars. Or is it not? :P I haven't been there.
Anyways i love photographing Milkyway, season is somewhere from April to August when you can see it the most. And those are warm nights. It's really peaceful to be outside on such a beautiful night with clear sky watching at this amazing thing. You should try it one time !
sincerely,
