Another image from my night at Goblin Valley SP. As mentioned in a previous comment, there was a workshop with two instructors and 11 participants that limited where I could go and what I could shoot. These rocks were off to the side from where the others where shooting. This was taken at 12:43am. The horizontal line near the center is from either a meteor or a satellite. D600, nikon f20 f1.8 @ 2.0, 25 sec., iso 2500. Suggestions and other comments welcome.

The starfield and milky way look great Scott, showing off well the joys of dark skies.  The shapes in the silhouetted rocks are also great.  Sure makes it easy to see why the area is called Goblin Valley.

I prefer this to your first post, Scott.  You caught an awesome star field that night and the rim lighting on the rocks is just perfect for my taste.
