Earth and Sky Astrophotography Photos

Shutter 30 sec., ISO 1250 Tripod, manual focus, 10:46PM direction

SE? 7/25/08. Orange glow is likely from city lights.

 

Questions, comments, ratings, and critiques are appreciated. I can

see the horizon is crooked but chose not to fix it.

 

Thanks in advance for your input.

Wow. I don't know how you did it, but you've brought the stars to life. Very nice.

This is an amazing photo! Star light, Star bright..........Excellent!
