The Milky Way. Looking toward the galactic center.

The real bright object is Jupiter.

Taken at the Okie-Tex Star Party last year. [link]

My camera was mounted Piggy-back on my Celestron.

It sure would be fun to meet some others from DA there next time.

HOLY CRAP. That's awesome.

Did you just attach your camera to the top of your telescope, facing the same direction so it would benefit from the tracking? Or, what exactly is piggy backing?

A Piggy Back is a mount for a camera on the tube of the scope.

That allows the camera to track with the scope's drive.
