On Saturday 1st June 2024 I was working super late but didn't want to lose yet another clear night because of work so I set up a camera and left it imaging the Milky Way.
I used a Canon 1100D with Canon 10-18mm lens at 10mm focal length. I took 20 second shots because the sky doesn't fully get dark at this time of year. I used ISO-3200 and f/4.5. I was imaging from 00:15 to 02:10 BST. I edited the images in Lightroom and created the video using PIPP.
At one point I paused the timelapse so I could shoot 5 overlapping shots to stitch together to create a panoramic full arch Milky Way shot, which I've included at the end. Additionally I took 39 of the images and stacked them with 25 darks using Sequator, using the freeze foreground and light pollution removal function. Given the fact it doesn't get fully dark at this time of year I wasn't expecting much, but wow! The total exposure time was 13 minutes and that's at the end of the video.
I processed the stacked image in Lightroom, Photoshop CS2 and Fast Stone, and I cropped the final image a bit.
