Continue to Have Clear Skies so Just Have to Try the Milky Way Again!

Continuing to have clear skies so it's not doing much for sunset so continue to try my luck at the Milky Way, before it goes away for the season.
Beautiful sky!

Loving your Milky Way shots! Very clear and inspiring.

I'd love the opportunity to try my hand at that someday. Alas, light pollution in my area is terrible. Can you say anything about how you setup these shots?

@matsaleh This is just a single shot with the settings that are shown in the Exif details shown. Probably the biggest thing is to get the lens to the largest aperture, F1.4, F2.8 or anything around that position. Then find something that is way out in the field of view and focus in on that object which should be around infinity. Then, turn off auto-focus so the focus doesn't change. Wait until it's dark and start shooting with the exif settings. ISO 2500 to 3200 and shutter speed, around 10 to 15 seconds. Anything longer and you'll start seeing trailing. Try this and see how it works.
