It depends a bit on the P&S camera itself. You'll need a tripod to mount the camera on. If the P&S has a long enough exposure of at least about 15 seconds (preferably around a minute), then you ought to be able to get a shot of the Milky Way. If you can use manual focus to set the focus at infinity, you will have a better chance to get a good picture. And then use the 2 or 10 second delay to take the picture with the widest aperture. Also try the higher ISO settings around 400 should work.

If I were trying to take a still picture of the galaxy, could i use a point and shoot so long as I wasn't holding it myself?
Without light pollution I think that's what we would see.

Well, we do have some light pollution on Kitt Peak, but it is certainly a lot darker than most places.

Nice work. It would be great to have a 24mm 1.8 instead of 2.8. This would be the first time I ever wanted a Canon product rather than Nikon. :)

My 24mm f/1.8 lens is a Sigma which I believe you can buy in a Nikon mount. If I were to buy a similar lens again, I'd probably look at a 20mm lens - the 24mm is just not quite wide enough sometimes....
