Paul R. Nelson 		  Thank you, Art, thank you Howard. My 20mm lens was just perfect to catch this much of this opening in my driveway and the trees as well. The Milky way was a bonus; I never expected to be able to capture that much detail. I also got two other good ones, as well as a couple that were ruined because my lens fogged up. It was a good practice for the Perseids coming up in two weeks, and this one may have been a early arrival from that group.

Susan Williams 		  This is truly awesome, Paul. I'm curious if you have any light pollution from the city to contend with. Did you happen to get the Super Moon on May 5th?

Thank you, Susan. Looking South, like I was for this image, there really isn't anything significant. There is a small bedroom community (+/- 1000 people?) about 6 or 8 miles Southwest at an old Air Force Base, and a small town (3000-4000 people) about 12 miles due South of me, as well as residences scattered between our place and there along the road to that town. There is a little more to the North, but not enough to prevent star trail images. As for the Super Moon, no, I didn't, as I was in Cleveland, Ohio visiting my wife.

This is a second image I captured a little later, which I think is even better.
