Cool! I can just about make out Cassiopeia in the bottom left but that looks like it was one mighty cold photo shoot. Is that a stacked multi-shot image or just a single shot at a highish ISO?

It was insanely cold. 25 below. It's a single shot with iso of 1600 and exposure of 25 seconds. That was quickly processed when I got home last night around 3 am. So I'll most likely go through and redo it.edit on 6-2-2014 by w810i because: (no reason given)

Hey there seems to be some large pixels in the lower left corner, is that from the exposure or the quick processing?
You take some great shots, my buddy ripped your image of the city lights and is using it as a wallpaper for his tablet.

Nice thread!
As an amateur photographer i sometimes like to point my camera to the sky and try to capture the night.
Astro photography can be easy and to cheap with just a dslr and tripod( starry nightscapes, startrails, moonshots,...) up to very expensive and time consuming with scopes and tracking devices for deep space photography, timelapse,... all depending on what your objectives are and what output quality you desire.
For the moment i prefer to keep it cheap and use the time to enjoy just looking at the night sky.
This is an image of the milky way from several years back i wanted to share.
If I remember the camera data correct,
the settings were, 30 sec exposure at f4, iso 3200
It's titled, electric universe.

Mt Stanton Panorama, Glacier National Park. A lot of people have asked why the picture looks so noisy or fuzzy and out of focus at the bottom. The reason for that is that when I was doing this set of photos it was 25 below zero out which caused fog/steam to come up from the waters surface in some areas. Personally I like the effect it adds to the image.

Okay this one is awesome, how perfect is that star right there in the valley?
