My first Milky Way shot for 2020

I captured this in my backyard at 4am this morning (as that's when the Milky Way's core was above the horizon).

I created the spiral shape by hand using a blue acrylic tube with an orange M&M's container taped on the end. Attached to this was a Nitecore P26 torch which I used because it has a very precise dimmer control so I could dial it down very low which makes it perfect for light painting in high ISO shots.
See pix of the tool below.

This is a single exposure:
10mm, f/4.5
ISO-3200, 30sec

Edited in Lightroom
