this is stunning. It looks like a painting. well done. The lights on the tree against the deep blue sky is amazing

Oh Christine, wow! That is amazing! I spy the Pleiades! And that has to be a planet in there too...Jupiter? Saturn maybe? What a fabulous shot!

Just beautiful. We never have that many stars in the sky in my neck of the woods.

Great pic👍😊

Beautiful capture. You’d have to go to a place with no light to get a better capture.

A couple of suggestions….the stars are trailing just a tad. Try a shorter exposure. Maybe 20 sec. Maybe just 15. Looks as if you light painted the plant or maybe it was ambient light, but the colors are weird probably because it is hard to match white balance between artificial and natural light. Keep trying. Night photography is worth the effort for sure

[Christine Sztukowski]

@jgpittenger thank you give that a try
