My Best Photo of The Milky Way Galaxy That I've Ever Taken. Mount Cook, New Zealand. What Do You Think?

That is a magnificent shot, your camera is pointed 26,000 light/years away directly at the Galactic center of the Milky Way. Just above the light colored gas formation halfway along the dark stripe is the location of radio source Sagittarius A* (pronounced "Sagittarius A-star"). It is thought to be a supermassive black hole, millions of times the mass of our sun.
Just beautiful. @daxon

Ah too kind, I should enter more competitions then. Plus capture a few more.

You are right. These really amazing shots.

Thank you so much! I never knew about the dark stipe. A mix of beauty and destruction all at once.

I agree @blockcodes, this view of the milky way most people never get to experience in their lifetime, so beautiful. @daxon really captured the milky way at the right place, at the right time! Sometimes we put ourselves into situations, no matter how extreme, that are all worth it. This is one of those situations!
