Wow, very nice. Having tried to photograph the MW myself a few times I can appreciate it. My only suggestion to make it even better would be to have some terrestrial object or body in the foreground. Again, great shot!!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Here is the image again with better PP and another image of the center section blown up.

The exposure was 470 on a tracking mount.
