Nice photo though, the rocks almost looks surreal (like plastic) when lit like that too :)

My technique is as follows: I locate a shooting location using a compass, so I know I'll be photographing the part of the sky that interests me. I photograph the landscape in the late afternoon with a D30 digital camera.
Then, after dark, I take the sky photo with a Nikon FM film body. At home, I merge the digital photo over the blacked-out, blurred foreground that results from the motorized telescope mount. This is as authentic as I can make it. I tweak the intensity in Photoshop, but there's not much other enhancement going on. This is the landscape you're seeing, but you're seeing day/night at the same time.
