Hi All.. been off the forum for a while.. work!!! Anyways.. been to Tanzania for 2 weeks Safari and took some photos from there..
Took lots of lovely photos of Animals but I was more interested in taking a shot of the Milky Way.. Unfortunately, the 2 weeks we had chosen were the Full Moon period. So that was a bit disappointing.. What did work out pretty well was that when we got to our hotel in Ngorongoro Crater, between 7:30PM and 8PM, it did become pretty dark and you could see lots of stars and the milky way..
All photos were taken with the D800.
1. So here is my first attempt at capturing this elusive object..

Offcourse, it is processed to make the object pop.. hope you like it.. taken with Rokinon 14mm f2.8
2. This second photo is the view of the Crater from the Crater View Point. It is a 15 photo stitch.
