HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH MILKY WAY

Let me start with the milky way. so today i'm going to show all of you how to shoot perfect milky way picture. Brace for impact.

1) Find a dark sky
Before you guy shoot a milky way,make sure that location that you pick far from light pollution. A dark sky free from light pollution is the first and the most important requirement to even seeing the milky way. And make sure you shoot during the new moon because full moon will wash out your image.

2) Know when and where to shoot.
Milky way is the most easily visible to the naked eye but isn't visible all year around especially those who at Northern Hemisphere. You will find your celestial subject in the southern half of the sky, rising from west. People at the southern hemisphere have slightly advantage  as the central part of the milky way can be seen overhead.

3) Use digital camera with high iso quality and wide angle lens.
You'll be shooting at night with very little available light and you want your camera sensor to be able to shooting in very little light without introducing excessive amount of noise. A full frame camera preferable.
