I took this picture from my backyard in April. More details on my Astrobin page: https://www.astrobin.com/hoeyl5/

Our eyes are not nearly sensitive enough to be able to see an image like this. It can only be brought out with a camera and lots of exposure time. This image is over 4 hours of exposure time with a dedicated camera designed for astrophotography. You’ll still see amazing things with that telescope! Clear Skies!
