Milky Way fun with a fisheye lens

This 8mm fisheye lens is fun. Twelve minutes of exposure time collected so much data. At 8mm, you stand well behind the lens; if you stand next to it the lens includes you in the photo. I had to heavily crop the final image to minimize exterior light from nearby cabins behind and to the side of the camera--this lens is a light sponge. The D7000 is an APS-C camera compatible with this lens; makes me wonder what an 8mm fisheye designed for and used on a full-frame DSLR would do.

Nikon D7000 DSLR, Rokinon Fisheye CS 8mm lens (at f/3.5, 30 sec, ISO 6400, 25 frames), tripod and remote shutter release.

Twenty-five 30 second frames stacked with Sequator, then GIMP
