Yes — you can photograph the Milky Way with that setup. The fast f/1.8 lens helps, and the EOS 1300D supports long exposures up to 30 seconds plus Bulb mode.

The main limitation is the 50mm focal length on a crop-sensor camera: it’s quite narrow for Milky Way shots, so you’ll capture a smaller section of the sky and star trails will become visible sooner than with a wider lens. A wider lens such as around 18mm is often preferred for Milky Way landscapes.

A good starting point is to shoot wide open at f/1.8, use roughly ISO 3200–6400, and try shutter speeds in the 10–30 second range. Shorter exposures help control star trailing; longer exposures may increase trails and noise. You can also stack multiple images later to reduce noise.

Don’t expect the image to look dramatic straight out of camera — Milky Way photos usually need post-processing to bring out contrast and color. So while this is not the ideal setup compared with a wider lens or a lower-noise camera, it is absolutely capable of getting Milky Way photos.
