I took this about a week and a half ago. Astrophotography isn't easy, as you can see it is a little blurry and in the larger image file you can see star trailing. But you can make out details of some star clusters and even the star dust. Our eyes can't detect some of (or most of I should say) the colors that the stars/space has to offer, but cameras can.
In order to get a detailed picture, one needs to compensate for the earth's rotation, a mount with tracking capabilities will do the job, but...boy are they expensive...
It's a shame we have so much light pollution...many millions of people are missing out on magnificent views of thousands and thousands of stars. If you are able, find a spot away from cities, and enjoy the sight God wants us to see!
