The latest cliche. Milky Way shots

Someone discovered (about 20 years after amateur astronomers) that
you can use a digital camera and a fast lens to grab 30 sec exposures
of the Milky Way (our galaxy) in dark settings with a wide, fast
lens. Now it's everywhere. Some shots are ok. They make good
posters. It'll pass, I presume.

One should be able to hard mount the camera and take as many short
exposure, lowish ISO shots as one wants. Combine in post with
correction for earth rotation. Using GPS to time tag the images would
help with aligning the images. (esp. if higher resolution time tags
were used). You would only lose on the edges of the image. (I'd be
surprised that someone isn't doing this somewhere).

Strangely enough, as I write this, my random desktop is a shot of the
Milky Way.
