Got up very early to get to the state park for the season's first attempt at the Milky Way. Milky Way still very dim, but at least I got something to show for my efforts. Using Image Composite Editor I stitched together four panels (twelve exposures each) for a mini panorama. Looking forward to better viewing in the coming months.

Canon 6D Mk II DSLR and Tamron 19-35mm lens set at 19mm, wide open at F/3.5. 48 exposures, each 30 seconds long, ISO 6400. Bogen tripod on Manfrotto mount.
