No photo-manipulation/superimposing or anything like that. The sky was crystal clear over the Mojave desert, tonight, and I took advantage of it. I have never seen the Milky Way so clear as I did, tonight.
This is actually two versions of the same image laid over one another. One image has sharpness set to 10 in Canon's Digital Photo Professional with no noise-reduction while the other has no sharpening and maximum noise-reduction. I placed the sharpened image in a layer above the image with reduced noise in Photoshop and made an image mask of the sharpened layer, bringing out the sharpness of the bright stars while leaving the less-detailed background more noise-free.

I actually just recently rented the 11-16mm for the Geminid meteor shower a few weeks ago. It, unfortunately, did not net me many shots of meteors (possibly due to being too slow and maybe even too wide of an angle), but I thoroughly enjoyed it the rest of the time I had it. The build quality is simply amazing - much better than any L lens I've used (24mm f/1.4 L II, 300mm f/4.0 L IS USM). It is a little slow to focus, but with such a large field of view, it's got a relatively large depth of field, even wide open. Obviously, however, the main selling point of the 11-16mm is the wide focal length, which is very fun to shoot with - definitely a lens you're sure to be very creative with. :D
