Milky Way from a hill station

Few years back, i went to Nathia Gali and took my DSLR, Canon 6D with me. I had recently purchased Rokinon 24mm lens which can operate at f/1.4 and also has a lens to correct spherical aberration.. a great lens for wide field low light imaging tasks, namely our own galaxy Milky Way.

Above is a stack of multiple 30 seconds exposures. I had just put the DSLR on a chair and lens was looking straight up in the sky and this is what it saw. Of course this image has gone through Photoshop.. we cant live without PS can we! All the colors are true in this image.. just enhanced a bit.
