Night Shot - EX1

Hi!

We are at our cottage near Shelburne (Jordan Ferry)

Nova Scotia. Its a beautiful starry night. I was always amazed when I was a little boy looking up at the stars on a clear night here. The sky is so bright with stars it is as if the sky comes down to meet you.

So tonight I decided to try and take a time exposure of it. Never tried this before. Put my EX1 on a tripod, pointed it up, and set it on manual; f1.8, and exposures of 16 sec.This one is iso 1600. Used 24mm

While I am sort of pleased with it, it still doesn't show the white banding of stars (Milky Way), Has anyone else used the EX1 for this. And what settings did you use.

Thanks
