This is my first time playing with iso 1600 to shoot stars with a digital camera. What a kick! Just about 1/2 hour after an almost full moon set, and about an hour before the sunrise on Saturday morning at twin lakes. Gotta love that Milky Way when you are far from the city lights.

I have GOT to try this!!! Besides the 1600iso, what were your settings for this, Morris?

just think there are hundreds of stars in this shot, gee I wonder how many of them has a planer with life on it. That is what I think everytime I look up into the sky

That is a sweet shot. I haven't done any night sky work - need to rectify that!

Very cool. I love the dark blue color.

I can't wait to see what the rest of you guys can do with this type of shot. I'm sure it will be unbelievable. And Stan, I was feeling very small indeed.
