Just find a dark location when the moon is new or nearly new. Shoot your widest lens (you have a 16-35mm right?)at 2.8 for 20-25 seconds at ISO 3600 or maybe even 1600 with your Mark IV. You may need to spend more time in PS or LR than you like. Ping if you do and I'll give you some short cuts. Or just check out LonelySpeck.com. Milky Way "season" is April - October. Other times the core won't be visible.
BTW, I'm hoping for a major improvement in this one. I did something really wrong processing and on a big monitore the background looks like someone blew chunks then sprinkled glitter on it. There's a much better image there... just gotta figure out how to find it.
