Wow I like it! biggrin.gif
I like the way the moon is more blueish. Do you go to a totally full non-light area and shoot?

Yup. It's about an 45 minute drive west, out into the country where there are NO lights.
Takes a few minutes for your eye to adjust (Your pupils become massive) then when you look up
you can see millions of stars.
It's breathtaking.

I do not think that we got anything like that were I live. We do not have as many stars as were you live. What lens do you use?

I use my 70-200mm without lens hood.
Not sure what f-/aperture, it's the same as all my others Galaxy shots.

It's not really hard to get photos like this.
Just go out in the bare country. (Meaning absolutely NO lights around)
Use a tripod to let the light travel from the stars and into the shutter long enough without moving it.

Great picture. Really like it. Used to live in the country so got to see these kinds of nights all the time.
