Starry, Starry Night
Redfish Lake, in the Sawtooth Mountains. The lights are from the dock of the Redfish Lodge.I had to set ISO to 6400 with max aperture, and limit exposure to 20 seconds to prevent star trails. There's some noise in the photo, but it did allow me to capture the brilliant night sky.

Wow...this is fabulous! I don't know how you figured out the 20-second exposure, but what a brilliant capture!Now I probably won't sleep well until I figure out a way to get that camera off my wish list and into my camera bag!
