The Milky Way from Connecticut

Well, although it is not Arizona (a place I used to live) or Acadia National Park, it it possible to get a single exposure shot of the Milky Way.  The following shots were taken on a recent Boy Scout trip to Housatonic Meadows State Park in Northwest Connecticut with a Opteka Fisheye Lens.
